"Do you believe in ghosts, Miss Orne?" asked Maud, who did, in spite of the comic explanation of this one. "Not the old-fashioned sort, but there is a modern kind that we are all afraid of more or less," answered Miss Orne, with a half-playful, half-serious look at the girls around her. "Do tell about them, please," begged Kitty, while the rest looked both surprised & interested. "There is one which I am very anxious to keep you from fearing. Women are especially haunted by it, & it prevents them from doing, being, & thinking all that they might & ought. 'What will people say?' is the name of this formidable ghost; & it does much harm, for few of us have the courage to live up to what we know to be right in all things."
-Jerseys, or the Girls' Ghost by Louisa May Alcott
Don't be haunted, sister.
