Karlsson
practiced
a
few
suitable
sighs
and
groans
.
742
A
ghost
who
could
not
sigh
and
groan
was
useless
,
Karlsson
declared
--
it
was
the
first
thing
a
little
ghost
learned
at
ghost
school
.
743
It
all
took
time
.
When
at
last
they
were
standing
in
the
hall
,
ready
to
go
out
on
the
landing
to
begin
the
haunting
,
they
heard
an
odd
scratching
sound
at
the
front
door
.
At
first
Eric
thought
it
must
be
Mommy
and
Daddy
coming
home
early
,
but
then
he
caught
sight
of
a
long
piece
of
wire
which
was
being
pushed
through
the
letter
box
.
Eric
remembered
something
he
had
heard
his
father
reading
aloud
to
his
mother
from
the
newspaper
only
a
few
days
earlier
.
It
said
in
the
paper
that
there
were
many
thieves
about
at
present
and
that
they
broke
into
homes
.
The
thieves
were
very
cunning
:
first
they
telephoned
to
find
out
if
there
was
anyone
at
home
.
If
there
was
no
reply
they
hurried
to
the
house
they
had
phoned
,
and
then
all
they
had
to
do
was
to
pick
the
lock
,
walk
in
,
and
steal
everything
of
value
.

Eric
was
terribly
frightened
when
he
realized
that
thieves
were
about
to
break
in
,
and
so
were
Bridget
and
Christopher
.
Christopher
had
shut
Joffa
up
in
Eric
's
room
to
prevent
him
from
barking
during
the
haunting
.
Now
he
was
sorry
he
had
done
so
.
745
But
Karlsson
was
not
frightened
--
far
from
it
.
746
"
Calm
,
be
calm
!
"
he
whispered
.
"
On
occasions
such
as
this
you
ca
n't
do
better
than
to
have
a
ghost
around
.
Come
on
!
We
'll
creep
into
the
sitting
room
--
I
suppose
that
's
where
your
father
keeps
his
chunks
of
gold
and
his
diamonds
,
"
he
said
to
Eric
.
747
Karlsson
,
Eric
,
Bridget
,
and
Christopher
crept
into
the
sitting
room
as
quietly
,
cautiously
,
and
quickly
as
they
could
.
They
crouched
and
hid
behind
the
furniture
while
Karlsson
dashed
into
the
beautiful
old
cupboard
where
Mommy
kept
her
linen
and
shut
the
door
behind
him
as
best
he
could
.
No
sooner
was
he
hidden
than
the
thieves
came
padding
in
.
Eric
,
who
was
lying
behind
the
couch
next
to
the
fireplace
,
peeped
out
.
Two
really
ugly
and
dreadful-looking
thieves
were
standing
in
the
middle
of
the
room
.
And
(
would
you
believe
it
?
)
they
were
none
other
than
Cosh
and
Ruffy
!

"
Well
,
now
,
where
do
they
keep
the
crown
jewels
,
I
wonder
,
"
said
Cosh
in
a
low
,
hoarse
voice
.
749
"
Here
,
of
course
,
"
said
Ruffy
,
pointing
at
the
antique
bureau
which
had
a
large
number
of
little
drawers
.
Eric
knew
that
Mommy
kept
her
housekeeping
money
in
one
of
the
drawers
,
and
in
another
there
was
the
valuable
ring
and
brooch
that
Grannie
had
given
her
.
Daddy
kept
his
gold
medal
there
,
too
--
the
one
he
had
received
as
a
shooting
prize
.
How
terrible
to
think
of
the
thieves
taking
it
all
,
thought
Eric
,
and
he
could
hardly
refrain
from
bursting
into
tears
as
he
lay
behind
the
couch
.
750
"
You
have
a
look
at
it
,
"
said
Cosh
.
"
I
'm
going
out
into
the
kitchen
to
see
if
they
've
got
any
silver
spoons
.
"
