“Sure thing. Jerry and Peg were on guard.” [[193]]
“They saw a ghost, all right.”
“It was the sudden appearance of the ghost on the boat,” Peg put in, “that scared them away.”
Scoop laughed in a reflective way.
“Our ‘friendly ghost’! I’d like to know who this spooky person is who has taken such a shine to us. Did you hear them say what the ghost looked like?”
“They described it as being tall and white. When it came over the side of the boat, out of the canal, sort of, they beat it, scared out of their wits.”
Scoop got his eyes on me.
“If they get a look at you In that outfit, Jerry—I beg pardon,” he bowed, grinning, “I mean Miss Pansy Blossom—they’ll think they’re seeing another ghost.”
Matching his grin with one of my own I sort of posed in my fancy gown. It wasn’t an embarrassment to me now, as it had been on the start.
Peg gave a gesture of impatience.
