Hullo, what's the trouble?

Oh, the ghost! Please save me from the ghost, Captain Putnam! howled Mumps, and clutched the master of the Hall by the arm.
human
Save me! The ghost is going to kill me!
gpt
Why, Master Fenwick, what is the trouble? Have you a nightmare?
human
No, sir. It's the ghost of the murdered cadet! I--I saw it. It came after me! Oh, save me!
gpt
Nonsense! You have seen no ghost. Be reasonable.
human
I did see it, sir. It was all white, and it was going to kill me!
gpt
This is some trick. The captain slipped into his clothes, and turned up a lantern hanging on a tent post.
human
I'll investigate. Come along.
gpt
Oh, I--I'm afraid!
human
You need not be, Fenwick. I'll protect you. Come along. There are no such things as ghosts.
