[00:17.27]After her husband had gone to work, [00:20.16]Mrs.Richards sent her children to school and went upstairs to her bedroom. [00:26.30]She was too excited to do any housework that morning, [00:29.33]for in the evening she would be going to a fancy-dress party with her husband. [00:34.65]She intended to dress up as a ghost [00:37.14]and as she had made her costume the night before,she was impatient to try it on. [00:43.56]Though the costume consisted only of a sheet,it was very effective. [00:49.30]After putting it on, Mrs.Richards went downstairs. [00:53.71]She wanted to find out whether it would be comfortable to wear. [00:58.51]Just as Mrs.Richards was entering the dining-room, [01:01.95]there was a knock on the front door. [01:05.01]She knew that it must be the baker. [01:07.97]She had told him to come straight in if ever she failed to open the door [01:11.93]and to leave the bread on the kitchen table. [01:15.99]Not wanting to frighten the poor man, [01:18.49]Mrs.Richards quickly hid in the small storeroom under the stairs. [01:24.02]She heard the front door open and heavy footsteps in the hall. [01:28.90]Suddenly the door of the storeroom was opened and a man entered. [01:34.77]Mrs.Richards realized that it must be the man from the Electricity Board [01:39.89]who had come to read the metre. [01:42.45]She tried to explain the situation,saying 'It's only me',but it was too late. [01:48.35]The man let out a cry [01:50.14]and jumped back several paces. [01:52.73]When Mrs.Richards walked towards him, he fled,slamming the door behind him.
