“If you’d asked me that last night I’d have said no right off, that is without us knowing it, but that note didn’t get there without hands.”
“That’s true, of course. But what are you going to do about it?”
“Nothing, I reckon, except to keep our eyes open. You see we’ve been threatened before.”
“But aren’t you scared?” Helen asked anxiously.
“I never heard of a ghost hurting anyone, did you?” Jack laughed.
“But it wasn’t a ghost put that paper there,” she insisted.
“It’s rather strange that it should have been printed, don’t you think?” Mrs. Sleeper asked.
“You mean it looks as though whoever did it was afraid they would recognize the handwriting if it had been written?” her husband asked.
“Well it suggests that. Printing is a common way of avoiding recognition, you know.”
“True, but that suggests that it was done by someone whom they know,” Mr. Sleeper declared with a questioning glance at Bob.
