Cold
,
"
she
said
.
"
He
's
been
up
this
hour
or
more
.
"
As
she
did
so
,
a
most
extraordinary
thing
happened
.
The
bed-clothes
gathered
themselves
together
,
leapt
up
suddenly
into
a
sort
of
peak
,
and
then
jumped
headlong
over
the
bottom
rail
.
It
was
exactly
as
if
a
hand
had
clutched
them
in
the
centre
and
flung
them
aside
.
Immediately
after
,
the
stranger
's
hat
hopped
off
the
bed-post
,
described
a
whirling
flight
in
the
air
through
the
better
part
of
a
circle
,
and
then
dashed
straight
at
Mrs.
Hall
's
face
.
Then
as
swiftly
came
the
sponge
from
the
washstand
;
and
then
the
chair
,
flinging
the
stranger
's
coat
and
trousers
carelessly
aside
,
and
laughing
drily
in
a
voice
singularly
like
the
stranger
's
,
turned
itself
up
with
its
four
legs
at
Mrs.
Hall
,
seemed
to
take
aim
at
her
for
a
moment
,
and
charged
at
her
.
She
screamed
and
turned
,
and
then
the
chair
legs
came
gently
but
firmly
against
her
back
and
impelled
her
and
Hall
out
of
the
room
.
The
door
slammed
violently
and
was
locked
.
The
chair
and
bed
seemed
to
be
executing
a
dance
of
triumph
for
a
moment
,
and
then
abruptly
everything
was
still
.
Mrs.
Hall
was
left
almost
in
a
fainting
condition
in
Mr.
Hall
's
arms
on
the
landing
.
It
was
with
the
greatest
difficulty
that
Mr.
Hall
and
Millie
,
who
had
been
roused
by
her
scream
of
alarm
,
succeeded
in
getting
her
downstairs
,
and
applying
the
restoratives
customary
in
such
cases
.
"
'
Tas
sperits
,
"
said
Mrs.
Hall
.
"
I
know
'
tas
sperits
.
I
've
read
in
papers
of
en
.
Tables
and
chairs
leaping
and
dancing
...
"
"
Take
a
drop
more
,
Janny
,
"
said
Hall
.
"
'
Twill
steady
ye
.
"
"
Lock
him
out
,
"
said
Mrs.
Hall
.
"
Do
n't
let
him
come
in
again
.
I
half
guessed
--
I
might
ha
'
known
.
With
them
goggling
eyes
and
bandaged
head
,
and
never
going
to
church
of
a
Sunday
.
And
all
they
bottles
--
more
'n
it
's
right
for
any
one
to
have
.
He
's
put
the
sperits
into
the
furniture
...
My
good
old
furniture
!
'T
was
in
that
very
chair
my
poor
dear
mother
used
to
sit
when
I
was
a
little
girl
.
To
think
it
should
rise
up
against
me
now
!
"
"
Just
a
drop
more
,
Janny
,
"
said
Hall
.
"
Your
nerves
is
all
upset
.
"
They
sent
Millie
across
the
street
through
the
golden
five
o'clock
sunshine
to
rouse
up
Mr.
Sandy
Wadgers
,
the
blacksmith
.
Mr.
Hall
's
compliments
and
the
furniture
upstairs
was
behaving
most
extraordinary
.
Would
Mr.
Wadgers
come
round
?
He
was
a
knowing
man
,
was
Mr.
Wadgers
,
and
very
resourceful
.
He
took
quite
a
grave
view
of
the
case
.
"
Arm
darmed
if
thet
ent
witchcraft
,
"
was
the
view
of
Mr.
Sandy
Wadgers
.
"
You
warnt
horseshoes
for
such
gentry
as
he
.
"
He
came
round
greatly
concerned
.
They
wanted
him
to
lead
the
way
upstairs
to
the
room
,
but
he
did
n't
seem
to
be
in
any
hurry
.
He
preferred
to
talk
in
the
passage
.
Over
the
way
Huxter
's
apprentice
came
out
and
began
taking
down
the
shutters
of
the
tobacco
window
.
He
was
called
over
to
join
the
discussion
.
Mr.
Huxter
naturally
followed
over
in
the
course
of
a
few
minutes
.
The
Anglo-Saxon
genius
for
parliamentary
government
asserted
itself
;
there
was
a
great
deal
of
talk
and
no
decisive
action
.
"
Let
's
have
the
facts
first
,
"
insisted
Mr.
Sandy
Wadgers
.
"
Let
's
be
sure
we
'd
be
acting
perfectly
right
in
bustin
'
that
there
door
open
.
A
door
onbust
is
always
open
to
bustin
'
,
but
ye
ca
n't
onbust
a
door
once
you
've
busted
en
.
