Mrs. Wopp’s voice, in a moment, was safe on terra firma.,CHAPTER XIV IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE,That was not difficult, for the soft silk slipped into a knot as strong as if tied in hemp.,When Moses, accompanied by his small attendant, returned to his unfinished task in the garden, he found Betty still at work. She was weeding the pansy bed. St. Elmo clapped his chubby hands in delight.,“Well, Tom jumps up from the outside, hangs on the sill with one forefoot, and pulls out the edge of the screen with the other till he gets his nose in, when he can pry out the screen and slip through easily.”，“I must of looked like that Lize or the picter couldn’t of been took.” Ruefully he rubbed his bald crown.，“‘Place there the boy,’ the tyrant said，The inexorable portrait on the wall seemed to gaze down on the recalcitrant youth with disapproval.“Yes, go away, Billy; I’m not afraid.” May Nell laughed happily.
