It was Christmas Eve. I begin this way because it is the proper, orthodox, respectable way to begin, and I have been brought up in a proper, orthodox, respectable way, and taught to always do the proper, orthodox, respectable thing; and the habit clings to me. It is quite unnecessary to mention the date at all. The experienced reader knows it was Christmas Eve, without my telling him. It is always Christmas Eve in a ghost story. Christmas Eve is the ghosts' great gala night.
"Christmas Eve Parade," as I expect they themselves term it, is a function, doubtless, eagerly prepared for and looked forward to throughout Ghostland, especially among the elite set, such as the murdered Barons, the crime-stained Countesses, and the Earls who came over with the Conqueror and got rid of their relatives and died raving mad. Oh, it is a stirring night in Ghostland, the night of December the 24th Ghosts never come out on Christmas night itself, you may have noticed. Christmas Eve, we suspect, has been too much for them; they are not used to excitement.
