Phantasmagoria by Lewis Carroll Cantor One interesting one winter night at half past nine. Cold, tired and cross a muddy I had to come home too late to dine. A supper with cigars and wine was waiting. In the study. There was a strangeness in the room and something white on a wavy. I was standing near me in the gloom I to get for the carpet broom left by the careless lady. But presently the thing began to shiver on to sneeze on, which I said, Come, come, my man. That's the most inconsiderate plan. Let's not waste a free please. I caught a cold. Nothing replies at their pond. The landing. I turned to look in some surprise on DH there before my very eyes. A little ghost was standing. He trembled when he called my eye and got behind a chair. How came you here, I said, And why? I never saw things so shy. Come out. Don't shiver there, he said. I do. Let me tell you how and also tell you why. But it gave a little about you say about a temper. Now. You think it's all a lie and asked to being in a fright. Allow me to remark The ghosts have justice Good Are right in every way to fear the light as meant of hid the dark No, please said I can Well excuse Such cow dies and you for ghosts can visit when they choose Whereas we humans can't refuse to grant thing to view He said a flutter of alarm is not a natural, is it? I really feared you made some harm But now I see that you're calm Let me explain My visit house is a cluster I beg to state according to the number off ghost that they accommodate Tenant Millie counters wait with colds and other lumber This is a one ghost house And you, when you arrived last summer may have remarked a spectre who was doing all the ghost can do to welcome the newcomer in villas is always done however cheaply rented Although of course there's lots of fun when there's only room for one ghost have to be contented That spectre left you on the third says Then you have not been haunted for Has he never sent us? Word was quite by accident We heard that anyone was wanted a Spectre has first choice by writing filling up a vacancy, then Phantom Goblin, Alva Sprite. If all these failed them, they invite the nicest cool that they can see, Spectres said. The place was a leg then that you kept bad wine, says a phantom had two *** on. I was verse of cosy night. I could be well, decline, no doubt, said I. They settled here was fittest to be sent. And yet still, to choose a brat like you to halt a man of 42 was no great compliment. I'm not so young, sir, he replied. As you might think, the fact is in cameras by the waterside, another places that I've tried. I've had a lot of practise, but I am never taken yet. A strict domestic part. Andi, my Fleury. I forget the five good rules of etiquette. We have to know by heart. My sympathies were warming fast. Who is the little fellow? He was so utterly accost at having found a man last on looks so scared and yellow? At least I said unclad. To find a ghost is another dumb thing. Press it down. You feel inclined if, like myself, you have not dined to take a snack off something, though. You suddenly doing to peer thing to offer food too. And then I shall be glad to hear if you will say them loud and clear the rules that you allude to Thanks. You shall hear them by and by. This is a piece of luck 1 may I offer. You said I Well, since you are so kind, I'll try a little bit of duck once, allies and may I ask you for another drop of gravy? I sat and looked at him in or we're certainly I never saw a thing so white and wavy and still he seemed to grow more white, more of a prion way via seen in the dim of flickering lights as he proceeded to recite Hiss Maxim's off behaviour.
