"You had it in your hand when th' ghost poked its blue tongue in our faces," affirmed Maurice. "I saw it." But Stanhope had sunk on a chair, his face in his hands. Doctor Cavinalt went softly over and stood beside him. "My friend," he said gently, "good news often bowls us over, but perhaps there's even better news in store for you. Fortune is a good thing, but with fortune and your eye-sight restored——" Maurice nodded. "I'm goin' to stick along here an help you watch the stuff, Harry.
