The trouble with Harrowby Hall was that it was haunted, and, what
was worse, the ghost did not content itself with merely appearing
at the bedside of the afflicted person who saw it, but persisted in
remaining there for one mortal hour before it would disappear. It
never appeared except on Christmas Eve, and then as the clock was
striking twelve, in which respect alone was it lacking in that
originality which in these days is a sine qua non of success in
spectral life. The owners of Harrowby Hall had done their utmost to
rid themselves of the damp and dewy lady who rose up out of the
best bedroom floor at midnight, but without avail. They had tried
stopping the clock, so that the ghost would not know when it was
midnight; but she made her appearance just the same, with that
fearful miasmatic personality of hers, and there she would stand
until everything about her was thoroughly saturated.
