After her husband had gone to work, Mrs Richards sent her children to school and went upstairs to her bedroom to do some cleaning. But she was too excited to do any housework that morning, for in the evening she would be going out with her husband to a fancy-dress ball. She intended to be dressed as a ghost. And as she had made her costume the previous night, she wanted to try it on.

After putting it on, Mrs Richards went downstairs to see if it would be comfortable to wear. Just as she was enter­ing the dining-room there was a knock on the door. She knew it must be the baker. She had told him to come straight in and leave the bread on the kitchen table.

Suddenly she remembered she had a strange costume on. But as she had no time to change her dress she hid her­self in a store-room under the stairs.

The baker entered the house and finding nobody in put the bread on the table as he had been told. On leaving the house he mixed the doors and opened the store-room door. He let out a cry and jumped back. In vain she tried to call him to explain the situation. In fear and panic he took to his heels slamming the door behind him. "A ghost! A ghost!", he cried running down the street."
