〃I think so; too;〃 he answered; 〃but you evidently don't。 Now you
come along indoors with me; and don't let's have any more of it。〃
Uncle John came to the door at this point; having been awaked; I
suppose; by the altercation; and; at the same moment; Aunt Maria
appeared at the window in her nightcap。
I explained the constable's mistake to them; treating the matter as
lightly as I could; so as not to get the man into trouble; and I turned for
confirmation to the ghost。
He was gone! He had left me without a wordwithout even saying
good…bye!
It struck me as so unkind; his having gone off in that way; that I burst
into tears; and Uncle John came out; and led me back into the house。
On reaching my room; I discovered that Jones was right。 I had not
put on my trousers; after all。 They were still hanging over the bed…rail。
I suppose; in my anxiety not to keep the ghost waiting; I must have
forgotten them。
Such are the plain facts of the case; out of which it must; doubtless; to
the healthy; charitable mind appear impossible that calumny could spring。
But it has。
PersonsI say 'persons'have professed themselves unable to
understand the simple circumstances herein narrated; except in the light of
explanations at once misleading and insulting。 Slurs have been cast and
aspersions made on me by those of my own flesh and blood。
But I bear no ill…feeling。 I merely; as I have said; set forth this
statement for the purpose of clearing my character from injurious
suspicion。
