Excerpt from Seaforth, Vol. 3 of 3 He listened again. N 0, he had not been mistaken, they were laughing girls' voices he had heard - English voices; he could hear them more plainly now. After a moment's thought he pushed his way through the olives, and parting the branches of two which grew rather close together, and emerging from their shade, he came suddenly upon a scene which he never afterwards forgot. Three lovely English girls, wearing the picturesque hats of the country, which protected while they did not hide their pretty features and bright complexions, were sitting in an orange grove.

Excerpt from Seaforth Every old house, it is said, has its haunted chamber and its flitting ghost. Seaforth was no exception. Flitting about its rooms and corridors went a lonely little spirit; but it was not sprite, nor shade, nor fairy. The ghost that haunted the halls of Lord Seaforth was his own and only child.
