CHAPTER XVIII
A QUARREL IN THE SCHOOLYARD
Three days after the grand sleighing party to Dalton, Nan came down to breakfast looking very pale and worried.
"What is the trouble, Nan?" questioned her mamma. "What has happened?"
"Oh, mamma, I scarcely feel like telling," answered Nan. "I am afraid you'll laugh at me."
"I fancy you had best tell me," went on Mrs. Bobbsey.
"I saw the ghost last night—or rather, early this morning."
"What, the ghost that I saw?" shouted Bert.
"I think it must have been the same. Anyway, it was about that high"—Nan raised her hand to her shoulder—"and all pure white."
"Oh, Nan!" shivered Freddie. "Don't want no ghostses!"
