A World of Ghosts.

A DEADLY stiffness had all at
~ once fallen like a blanket, blot
ting out McCarthy's violent
speech. The rafting typewriter in
the next room was abruptly stilled.

creature is cut by the sword-all at
once, without the transitionary rum

Lutte dense stiffness. like that of a

the customary city noises. In his
establishment Mccarthy thrust
heavy inkstand off the edge of his
desk. 1t hit the floor, spilled, rolled
away, but noiselessly, as would the
inkstand in a moving picture
To have ones word thus suddenly
stricken dumb, to be transported
orally from the road of a city to the
peace of a woodland or, a 5ecalmed
sea is certainly astonishing enough.
But this silence was particularly
terrifying to both Mccarthy and Jack
Warford, though neither would have
been able to analyze the reason for
it's weirdness. For silence is in real
ity composite of many lesser noises.
In a woodland almost inaudible in

grasses rustic; at sea the tiny waves

of air stir the cordage; within the
