The Ghost of Bertram Towers

Colonel Sir Percival Bertram was not in the best of moods. He was muttering as he shuffled through the papers on his desk. Jenkins stood nearby at attention.

Bertram burst out in irritation, “Where is it, Jenkins? Bloody thing’s gone missing again.”

“It’s usually in the top drawer to your right, sir.” replied the butler.

The colonel threw open the drawer. “You’re right, Jenkins. Bloody place is haunted, I tell yer. Damn ghost is moving my stuff.”

“I doubt that, sir.”

Bertram harumphed. “You do, hey? And what makes you think it’s not a ghost?”

“You’ve been sleepwalking again, sir.”
