She declared she was afraid of ghosts . `` There 's no such thing as ghosts , '' declared Jem Blythe . `` Oh , ai n't there ? '' `` Did you ever see any ? '' `` Hundreds of 'em , '' said Mary promptly . `` What are they like ? '' said Carl . `` Awful-looking . Dressed all in white with skellington hands and heads , '' said Mary . `` What did you do ? '' asked Una . `` Run like the devil , '' said Mary . Then she caught Walter 's eyes and blushed . Mary was a good deal in awe of Walter . She declared to the manse girls that his eyes made her nervous . `` I think of all the lies I 've ever told when I look into them , '' she said , `` and I wish I had n't . '' Jem was Mary 's favourite . When he took her to the attic at Ingleside and showed her the museum of curios that Captain Jim Boyd had bequeathed to him she was immensely pleased and flattered . She also won Carl 's heart entirely by her interest in his beetles and ants . It could not be denied that Mary got on rather better with the boys than with the girls .
She quarrelled bitterly with Nan XXXXX the second day .
