Running upstairs in search of a hat I met Rad on the landing, buttoning something white inside his coat, something that to my eyes looked suspiciously like a sheet.

He laughed and put his finger on his lips as he went on down to join the others.
It was a bright moonlight night almost as light as day.

We moved across the open lawn in a fairly compact body.

The girls, though they had been laughing all the evening at the exploits of the ha'nt, showed a cautious tendency to keep on the inside.

Rad was in the front ranks leading the hunt, but I noticed as we entered the shrubbery that he disappeared among the shadows, and I for one was fairly certain that our search would be rewarded.
