CHAPTER XII.
Another Kelpie In the summer we all slept in a large room in the wide sloping roof.
It had a dormer window, at no great distance above the eaves.

One day there was something doing about the ivy, which covered all the gable and half the front of the house, and the ladder they had been using was left leaning against the back.

It reached a little above the eaves, right under the dormer window.

That night I could not sleep, as was not unfrequently the case with me.

On such occasions I used to go wandering about the upper part of the house.
