After her husband went to work, Mrs Richards sent her children to school and went upstairs to her bedroom. She was too excited to do any housework this morning, because in the evening she would be going to a fancy dress party with her husband. She intended to dress up as a ghost and as she had made her costume the night before, she was impatient to try it on. Though the costume consisted only of a sheet, it was very effective. After putting it on, she went downstairs. She wanted to find out if it would be comfortable to wear. Just as Mrs Richards was entering the dining room, there was a knock on the door. She knew that it must be the baker. She had told him to come straight in if ever she failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the kitchen table. Not wanting to frighten the poor man, Mrs Richards quickly hid in the small store room under the stairs. She heard the front door open and heavy footsteps in the hall. Suddenly, the door of the store-room was opened and a man entered. Mrs Richards realized that it must be the man from the Electricity Board who had come to read the meter.
