"
"What, the ghost that I saw?" shouted Bert.
"I think it must have been the same. Anyway, it was about that
high"--Nan raised her hand to her shoulder--"and all pure white."
"Oh, Nan!" shivered Freddie. "Don't want no ghostses!"
"I don't want to see it," put in Flossie, and edged closer to her mamma
as if fearful the ghost might walk into the dining room that minute.
"This is certainly strange," came from Mr. Bobbsey. "Tell us all about
it, Nan."
"Oh, papa, you won't laugh?" and Nan's face grew very red. "I--I--didn't
think of it then, but it must have been very funny," she continued.
"It's not very funny to see a ghost, Nan," said Mrs. Bobbsey.
"I don't mean that--I mean what I did afterward. You see I was asleep
and I woke up all of a sudden, for I thought somebody had passed a hand
over my face. When I looked out into the room the ghost was standing
right in front of the dresser. I could see into the glass and for the
minute I thought there were two ghosts."
"Oh!" came from Flossie. "Two! Wasn't that simply dreadful!" And she
crouched closer than ever to her mamma.
