Billy agreed with delight. "Well, hang to 'em tight till we get away from this ha'nted grove. Ghosts don't mind rain none—an' he's liable t' be prowlin' out. Say, can't y' whistle a bit, so's it won't be so pesky lonesome?" "And how did she seem," said Captain Weaver, "when she got into the boat?".
