And, Mona having closed the panel again and jumped down off the chair, Doatie takes her place, and, supported by Nicholas, opens and shuts the secret door again and again to her heart's content.,They left the ghost country to go home, and on the fourth day the wife said to her husband, "Open your eyes." He looked about him and saw that those who had been with them had disappeared, and he found that they were standing in front of the old woman's lodge by the butte.

"You laugh, yet I did not mean to be funny. Tell me what I said.",Bid we to flee.,"I don't know--I can't say!" interrupted his master, impatiently.
