“Mark told us about her at dinner one night. He rather liked the idea of there being a ghost in his house, you know; except that he doesn’t believe in ghosts. I think he wanted all of us to believe in her, and yet he was annoyed with Betty and Mrs. Calladine for believing in ghosts at all. Rum chap. Well, anyhow, Miss Norris⁠—she’s an actress, some actress too⁠—dressed up as the ghost and played the fool a bit. And poor Mark was frightened out of his life. Just for a moment, you know.”

“What about the others?”

“Well, Betty and I knew; in fact, I’d told her⁠—Miss Norris I mean⁠—not to be a silly ass. Knowing Mark. Mrs. Calladine wasn’t there⁠—Betty wouldn’t let her be. As for the Major, I don’t believe anything would frighten him .”

“Where did the ghost appear?”
