"Aren't we in luck? Not a soul even saw us come in.",“Don’t I see what?”,"Look!" he whispered. "Look! There's a light in the ha'nted house.","Mr Greyquill!" cried Miss Acton. "Why, he may have come with news of Lucy. Bid him step in!",Mrs. Wilson nodded. "It is. Two pieces of bread an' butter an' a doughnut an' a tart fer each of you. Is it enough?"，“Oh, John! Tell him to get off and let me ride!”，"I don't think so," retorted Isabella, rising. "Of course, I know that he is clever, but as to being great, he isn't known beyond this place." She walked to the end of the veranda, and stood for a moment in the glare of the sunshine. Suddenly an idea seemed to strike her, and she turned toward the negress.，"But, darn it all, Bill," Maurice objected, "there won't be no ghost to lead the way to the stuff in the daytime.""I am indeed, and have no words in which to convey my thanks to you for your kindness."

She was what was termed an antiquated gentlewoman whose dress was a survival of the fashion of two if not three earlier generations: consisting of a stiff-starched cap and hood, a little hoop and a rich silk damask gown with large flowers. She acted as housekeeper to her brother, and the keys of the cupboards jingled at her side. She was choice in her stores, which included cordial waters, cherry and raspberry brandy, Daffy's Elixir, pots of currant jelly and raspberry jam, and her stock also comprised salves, electuaries, and purges for the poor.
