MD3PAD 505-507

[Toby G Levy]

        Emerson teaches his students that altitude by flying releases
them from the bounds of the horizon. Dixon worries that they will
encounter ghosts and goblins while flying around. Emerson says they are
easily ignored. Dixon is obsessed with one ghost he has seen, the Old
Hell-Cat of Raby. She is the ghost of a woman who died in 1742 after a
bitter struggle over who was going to inherit the castle.

        Dixon sees her waiting for a coach, which finally arrives late.
The driver complains of running into "traffic" which turns out to be
Emerson flying around with his students. And that was the first time
Dixon heard of Emerson: during the conversation of the ghosts. By the
time he was 14, Dixon was one of those students flying about the
countryside.
