"Oh, never mind Lady Anne! A real ghost can do anything. But
how did Miss Norris appear suddenly over five hundred yards of
bare park?"
Bill looked at Antony with open mouth.
"I--I don't know," he stammered. "We never thought of that."
"You would have seen her long before, wouldn't you, if she had
come the way we came?"
"Of course we should."
"And that would have spoilt it rather. You would have had time
to recognize her walk."
Bill was interested now.
"That's rather funny, you know, Tony. We none of us thought of
that."
"You're sure she didn't come across the park when none of you
were looking?"
"Quite. Because, you see, Betty and I were expecting her, and we
kept looking round in case we saw her, so that we should all be
playing with our backs to her."
"You and Miss Calladine were playing together?"
"I say, however do you know that?"
"Brilliant deductive reasoning. Well, then you suddenly saw
her?"
"Yes, she walked across that side of the lawn." He indicated the
opposite side, nearer to the house.
