How William does it

[artemis_of_isle]

"... I believe that children see-clouds of glory and all that," vaguely. "With your unstained childish vision--"

"I'm eleven," put in William indignantly.

"You see things that to the wise are sealed. Some manifestation, some spirit, some ghostly visitant--"

"Oh," said William, suddenly enlightened, "you talkin' about ghosts?"

"Yes, ghosts, William."

Her air of deference flattered him. She evidently expected great things of him. Great things she should have. At the best of times with William imagination was stronger than cold facts.

He gave a short laugh.

"Oh, ghosts! Yes, I've seen some of 'em. I guess I have!"

Her face lit up.

"Will you tell me some of your experiences, William?" she said, humbly.

"Well," said William, loftily, "you won't go talkin' about it, will you?"

"Oh, no."

"Well, I've seen 'em, you know. Chains an' all. And skeletons. And ghostly arms beckonin' an' all that."

William was enjoying himself. He walked with a swagger. He almost believed what he said. She gasped.

"Oh, go on!" she said. "Tell me all."

He went on. He soared aloft on the wings of imagination, his hands in his pockets, his freckled face puckered up in frowning mental effort. He certainly enjoyed himself.

"If only some of it could happen to me," breathed his confidante. "Does it come to you at nights, William?"

"Yes," nodded William. "Nights mostly."

"I shall-watch to-night," said Cousin Mildred. "And you say the house is old?"

"Awful old," said William, reassuringly.

Best of all Willam's class is free and spontaneous.

He should be teaching the class, surely?
