"There aren't any such things," scoffed George.

"Besides, if there were, do you think we men would be afraid of them?
I guess not.

I'd like to see the ghost that I would be afraid of.

You bring out your ghosts! We'll show you how quickly we will lay them." "Oh, I can't bring them out," murmured Harriet.

"I thought perhaps you had seen them." "Have you ?" demanded Sam, turning on her sharply.
"Oh, don't ask me," begged Harriet, in such apparent distress that Sam did not question her further.
"What's this that Harriet is telling you ?" asked Miss Elting.
"She's been seeing things, and thinks it queer that we have not, too," answered George.
