The case, I\u003cbr\u003emay mention, was that of an apparition in just such an old house as had\u003cbr\u003egathered us for the occasion--an appearance, of a dreadful kind, to a\u003cbr\u003elittle boy sleeping in the room with his mother and waking her up in the\u003cbr\u003eterror of it; waking her not to dissipate his dread and soothe him to\u003cbr\u003esleep again, but to encounter also, herself, before she had succeeded\u003cbr\u003ein doing so, the same sight that had shaken him. It was this observation\u003cbr\u003ethat drew from Douglas--not immediately, but later in the evening--a\u003cbr\u003ereply that had the interesting consequence to which I call attention.\u003cbr\u003eSomeone else told a story not particularly effective, which I saw he was\u003cbr\u003enot following. This I took for a sign that he had himself something to\u003cbr\u003eproduce and that we should only have to wait. We waited in fact till two\u003cbr\u003enights later; but that same evening, before we scattered, he brought out\u003cbr\u003ewhat was in his mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I quite agree--in regard to Griffin's ghost, or whatever it was--that\u003cbr\u003eits appearing first to the little boy, at so tender an age, adds a\u003cbr\u003eparticular touch. But it's not the first occurrence of its charming\u003cbr\u003ekind that I know to have involved a child. If the child gives the effect\u003cbr\u003eanother turn of the screw, what do you say to TWO children--?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"We say, of course,\" somebody exclaimed, \"that they give two turns! Also\u003cbr\u003ethat we want to hear about them.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082569728240,"sku":"2940013392021","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013392021_p0.jpg?v=1763591845","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013392021","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
