whistle. Something large and white

outside and, bending, be pulled up
over the sill a very large, wet white
ibulldog.
"Oh I" Alison stared at the dog
which was leaping excitedly up on
its master and spattering drops

ugly with a tan patch over one eye.
! "Down, down, there! Meet Gaffe.
We call blm that because bis man

"1 jat's lust It."
"Vou you don't think Gaffe

it almost hopefully; the notion of

decisive. "But 1 don't believe In
ghosts either."
"Then you mean?"
"There's some other way In and
