CHAPTER
XI.
SAMUEL
BROWN
THE
next
morning
I
met
Lady
Glenmire
and
Miss
Pole
setting
out
on
a
long
walk
to
find
some
old
woman
who
was
famous
in
the
neighbourhood
for
her
skill
in
knitting
woollen
stockings.
Miss
Pole
said
to
me,
with
a
smile
half-kindly
and
half-contemptuous
upon
her
countenance,
“I
have
been
just
telling
Lady
Glenmire
of
our
poor
friend
Mrs
Forrester,
and
her
terror
of
ghosts.
It
comes
from
living
so
much
alone,
and
listening
to
the
bug-a-boo
stories
of
that
Jenny
of
hers.”
She
was
so
calm
and
so
much
above
superstitious
fears
herself
that
I
was
almost
ashamed
to
say
how
glad
I
had
been
of
her
Headingley
Causeway
proposition
the
night
before,
and
turned
off
the
conversation
to
something
else.
