Larry: What do you suppose that noise was?

Lt. Harper: Whatever it was it’s no more strange than the other things happening around this cemetery.

Larry: Spirits like Old Farmer Caulder talked about?

Lt. Harper: Heh. Maybe.

Larry: The only spirits he saw tonight were those I smelled on his breath.

Lt. Harper: Well don’t forget Mrs. Trent claims to have seen them too. She didn’t have anything on her breath.

Larry: She was hysterical.

Lt. Harper: Well true, she was frightened, and in a state of shock. But, don’t forget that torn nightgown and the scratched feet.

Larry: Yeah I hadn’t thought of that. I guess that’s why you’re a detective lieutenant and I’m still a uniformed cop.

Lt. Harper: Sometimes it’s only the breaks, Larry.
