It seemed an eternity till the door was grudgingly opened and a white-faced, gruff boy asked unrecognizingly what she wanted.,She put the question to Griffin when she met her in the hall after the class had broken up in disorder to celebrate the initiation by a general gambol through the deserted halls and corridors. Patricia and Griffin were seating themselves on a drawing-board at the top of the short flight of stone steps that connected the back corridor with the exhibition rooms above.,Uncle Isaac had not given him anything the last time he was there, nor the time before either, so very likely—Pshaw!

He wasn’t going there to beg—far from it; he wasn’t quite so mean as that.,CHAPTER V THE GHOST DANCE,And here perhaps it will be as well to explain the trouble that at this time weighs heavily upon the Rodney family.，“Who are they and why should they be worried by what happens here?” Bob wanted to know.，His mother glared at him. "Humph!" she snorted, "you're bewitched yourself, you poor coward you! Now then, another word out o' you—and you get the strap. Ain't I told you, Anson, time and ag'in, that this dear crow has found old Scroggie's pile? You git up from this table to once; go out and stay within callin' distance; I'll want you back here presently."，"Now that we've got ol' Harry's charm along with my rabbit-foot," Billy was saying, "we ought'a be able to snoop 'round in the ha'nted grove an' even hunt through the house any time we take the notion.

"I'll keep everything quiet, so that you can sleep it off as you used to be able to.
