Black Maria
“Something very odd has turned up because of that, and we have met Miss Phelps, who said things. Chris says the ghost comes every night. But I’ll tell it in order.
Ghost first. I ask Chris about him every morning. Chris laughs and says, ‘Poor old Abel Silver! I’m used to him by now.’ I said yesterday why didn’t Chris sleep on the sofa downstairs instead? He was looking tired. I know how I’d feel if I was woken by a ghost every night. But Chris says he likes the ghost. ‘He just searches the s...helves. He’s not doing me any harm.’ It was after that the cat turned up at the window again. It came and put its silly flat grey face up against the glass and mewed desperately. Chris said it looked like a Pekinese. Aunt Maria was banging away upstairs, shouting that her toast was wrong, and Mum was flying through the room to see to it. But she stopped when she saw the cat.
‘Poor thing!’ she said. ‘Not a Pekinese, Chris. It reminds me of something – someone – that face – ’ There were more.MoreLess
