apparently reasoning with her in a low voice, to which "Ishbel"
replied very occasionally. I could not hear what was said for
the noise of the burn. We waited for perhaps ten or fifteen
minutes. They had appeared when I had been there perhaps three

When we regained the avenue (in silence) Miss Moore asked Miss
Langton, "What did you see?" (She had been told nothing, except
that the Colonel, who did not know details then, had said in

saw nothing, but I heard a low talking." Questioned further, she
said it seemed close behind. The glen is so narrow, that this
might be quite consistent with what I saw and heard. Miss Moore
heard a murmuring voice, and is quite certain it was not the
burn. She is less suggestible than almost any one I know.

The dog ran up while we were there, pointed, and ran straight

barking in the glen. He is a dog who hardly ever barks. We went
up among the trees where he was, and could find no cause.
