This is Blue Dorm, Jocelyn. I'm sure you'll like it. Isn't it a topping view? Look how well you can see the Fossdyke Wash--and that's the Walpole Fen, all down on the right--it's reclaimed, you know--and do you see that tower?
gpt
Yes; I saw it coming along. What is it?
human
It's haunted--it is really, Jocelyn. Of course Miss Conyngham and the sensible people would say nonsense; but we've heard awfully queer sounds sometimes, and once I saw some blue light with my own eyes, when Doron Westerby--another four had this dorm last term--had toothache in the night, and called me. You know a man was murdered there; ages back, it was. His enemy tied him up in an underground room of the tower, and then blew out a bit of the sea-wall at one of the great autumn tides.
gpt
How beastly. Are his mouldering bones there now?
human
I think they're cleared up, Gabrielle said regretfully.

You look for the light, Jocelyn--you'll have a topping chance. I wonder which bed you'll have--three have windows, you see; it's only in that fourth one by the door you can't see anything, and I don't think it's fixed yet who sleeps there.

Bags I this!
