"What's up ?" shouted Billy.
"Everything.

They've tricked us! They've gone!" cried Sam.
"They have, I do declare," added George in a hushed tone.

"When did they go ?" "Just now.

"I wasn't! They disappeared! They went up in thin air." Just then they were interrupted by a long, piercing wail that seemed to come from the air above and around them.

The boys gazed into each others faces.
"It's a banshee's wail," whispered Larry.
