Synopsis
Excerpt from Springhaven, Vol. 2 of 3: A Tale of the Great War
That for your stoppage Of a right of way! He cried; and now perhaps you'll want to know who done it.
To gratify this natural curiosity, he drew a piece of chalk from his pocket, and wrote on the notice-board in large round hand Daniel Tugwell, son of Zebedee Tugwell, of Spring haven. But suddenly his smile of satisfaction fled, and his face turned as white as the chalk in his hand. At the next turn of the path, a few yards before him, in the gray gloom cast by an ivy-mantled tree, stood a tall dark figure, with the right arm raised. The face was indis tinct, but (as Dan's conscience told him) hostile and unforgiving; there was nothing to reflect a ray-of light, and there seemed to be a rustle of some departure, like the Spirit fleeing.
The ghost! What could it be, but the ghost? Ghosts ought to be white; but terror scorns all prejudice. Probably this murdered one was buried in his breeches. Dan's heart beat quicker than his axe had struck; and his feet were off, to beat the ground still quicker. But no Springhaven lad ever left his baggage. Dan leaped aside first to catch up his basket and while he stooped for it, he heard a clear strong voice.
