"The spirit of adventure and curiosity that dwelled within her
bosom was passionate with excitement It was obvious there was
something wildly interesting inside the gristmill, and Amoretta
silently swore to herself she would discover what it was no matter
what. She promised herself that nothing short of torture could keep
her from seeing what was inside now that her feet were set on the
path. "Is it frightening at all?" Calliope asked. "Shh," Blanche
kindly scolded. But Winnie whispered, "I suppose it could be
considered frightenin'...to some girls." "Is it a ghost?" Calliope
asked in a softer whisper. "Oh heavens no " Sallie giggled. "It's
ever so much more wonderful than a ghost " "Now everyone hush,"
Prudence whispered as she began to rather creep toward the back
outer wall of the mill. "If they hear us...well...we don't want
anyone to hear us is all." Slowly Amoretta and Calliope followed
the others to a place where a board hung loosely from the rest of
the wooden planks of the outer back wall of the gristmill. Blanche
put a finger to her lips to remind everyone to be silent. Winnie
smiled as she took hold of Amoretta's shoulders. "Just kneel here
in the grass," she whispered. Sallie knelt down in the grass and
took Calliope's hand to guide her to follow. Amoretta carefully
knelt in the cool grass shaded by mill and trees. Once Prudence and
Blanche had knelt down with the others, Prudence pointed to the
low, loosely hanging board, indicating that Amoretta and Calliope
should look through the open space it presented. Amoretta's heart
was pounding like the rapids of some raging river What were they
about to witness? Spirits roaming the old mill? Pirates? Outlaws?
Her imagination couldn't list possibilities quickly enough. And
then, all at once-in the space of a moment and a short
gasp-Amoretta Ipswich knew exactly why the young ladies of
Meadowlark Lake liked to sneak out to the gristmill and peep
through the loose siding board. "Oh my-" Amoretta's exclamation of
astonishment was silenced by Winnie's hand quickly covering her
mouth.""
