- But it was a beautiful funeral. Mr. Evans played the organ himself, the finest selections... all the sweet old pieces his wife liked. There was 'Narcissus' and 'Mighty Lak' a Rose' and 'Goodbye, Forever'...

- That's the way it was. So you see, David, my sister Mrs. Chumley was there.

- Yes. But how did she know it was Mama? She didn't see Mama, did she?

- Well, nobody saw your poor mama, dear. She wouldn't have wanted anyone to see her.

- Mama wasn't there. She talks to us every night. She tells us to look for her.

- Where, dear?

- In the pipes.

- But, David, your mama's dead. She's been dead for nearly a year.

- Now, you saw her grave out in the cemetery. She's happy and at rest.

- Why doesn't Papa give us the key? If he'd only let us have it, we could look for her.

- What key, dear?

- The keys to the pipes. There's a little door, just underneath the stairs. That's where the big pipes are. And inside it's all dark.

- There are tunnels and a little room... That's where she's hiding. That's where Mommy is! That's where Mommy is!
