But he saw that he would have a hard time in getting any more details. “Anyhow, I know I’ve got to thank you for my life—such as it is!”,"Glad you like it," said Billy.,"Yes, he is quite innocent. He did not take the devil-stick.","All the better to see with, child."，The boy scudded lightly across the narrow open space to the shelter of a manzanita tree, and looked back again; but no one appeared. Did he still hear the softly quarrelling voices? He fancied so. The sudden dip of the sun behind a hill darkened the scene threateningly, and brought a return of “the creeps.”，"How could I help laughing," says Mona.

Fear had gripped his superstitious soul and the courage loaned him from the squat demijohn was fast oozing away.,"Your father was telling me a few days ago," said Captain Acton, "of a narrow escape of yours, sir.","Mr. Maxwell! Mr. Maxwell!" cries Mona, as he approaches them; and the heavy man, drawing up, looks round at her with keen surprise, bending his head a little forward, as though the better to pierce the gloom.,"Only one thing to do," reasoned Billy, "take what we want an' let the rest go.",At this point, Geoffrey—who has been hunting all the morning—enters the room with Captain Rodney.,Violet, coming in a few moments later, finds them still discussing the all-important theme.,“I reckon so, ’cause they had too good a start for me to catch up with ’em. Good night to ye,” he finished and galloped off to put his tired horse away and get some much-needed rest for himself.,At a sign from the leader the dance stopped as suddenly as it had begun, and the leader once more approached Elinor, followed by four of the foremost ghosts.,"My dear Mrs. Dallas," he said, in a soft voice, "you must have seen for a long time that my visits here have not been made without an object.
