And many a lesser bell sound through the room;
And it is All Souls Night.
And two long glasses brimmed with muscatel
Bubble upon the table. A ghost may come;
For it is a ghosts right....”

“Then I polish all the silver, which a supper-table lacquers;
Then I write the pretty mottoes which you find inside the
crackers”
