This old room could tell some great tales if it could speak, couldn't it? Patty Paine said, looking about.
human
It's a barren hole, but I adore it. I've had some great times here. Remember the night we thought we heard some one coming and we got into the trunks? That was the time Angela fell down-stairs and had hysterics. It was initiation night, too, wasn't it? My, but wasn't Miss North furious! I thought she'd freeze into an icicle. It took her weeks to thaw out.

gpt
I don't think you heard a blessed thing!
human
Yes, she did, Ruth, Blue Bonnet insisted.
gpt
I heard it, too.
human
You did?
gpt
Yes--shh--there! You heard it then, didn't you?
human
It's a rat or a mouse! Oh, see--there it goes--look, behind that big brown trunk!
