Answer:

Dr Grant’s lights were still on. His curtains were the colour of ripe peaches. A lantern,

swaying on his porch, threw a pool of soft shifting light over the flagstones and gravel

outside the front door.

Annie stared and stared as if she had never seen bright light before. In the gloom of the

great storm, nothing had looked quite definite and many things looked frightening: the

reaching arms of the tree, the fallen body of the milk churn, the gleam and flash of water.

There was danger, too, of meeting those chancy things that only come out at night, boggles

and boggarts and the black dog, Shuck… and worst of all there was the ghost. But now, in

the clear light, there was no longer room for anything uncertain or ghostly.

Annie relaxed her grip on the horse and took a deep breath. When she slowly let her breath

out again, she felt as if she had been holding it in ever since she left home.

“So, Annie,” said the horseman, “this is where I must leave you.”

“Come in!” cried Annie. “I’m sure you can come in.”

“You must go your way and I mine, “ said the horseman, shaking his head and taking great

care to stop his horse from putting so much as a hoof into the pool of light. “Your sister and

her baby will be all right.”

So Annie swung down from the saddle and stood on the gravel, feeling rather shaky. She

looked up at the man, still unsmiling and sitting so still.

“Thank you,” cried Annie. “Thank you. I was so afraid.” She shook her head. “I was afraid of

meeting the ghost.”

“There was no fear of that,” said the horseman. “Annie,” he said, “I am the ghost.”
