Chapter 9 THE BLACKSMITH TELLS A TALE
　　'Well,' began Julian, 'we went riding on Mystery Moor1 yesterday, and for one thing we'd like to knowif there is any reason for the curious name. Was there ever a mystery on that moor?'
　　'Oh, there be plenty of mysteries away there,' said Old Ben. 'People lost and never come back again,noises that no one could find the reason of...'
　　'What kind of noises?' said Anne, curiously2.
　　'Ah now, when I were a boy, I spent nights up on that moor,' said old Ben, solemnly, 'and the noisesthat went on there! Screeches4 and howls and the like, and moans and the sweep of big wings...'
　　'Well, all that might have been owls5 and foxes and things like that,' said Dick. 'I've heard a barn-owlgive a screech3 just over my head which made me nearly jump out of my skin. If I hadn't known it wasan owl6 I'd have run for miles!'
　　Ben grinned and his face ran into a score of creases7 and wrinkles.
　　'Why is it called Mystery Moor?' persisted Julian. 'Is it a very old name?'
　　'When my Grandad was a boy it were called Misty8 Moor,' said the old blacksmith, remembering.
　　'See, Misty, not Mystery. And that were because of the sea-fogs that came stealing in from the coast,and lay heavy on the moor, so that no man could see his hand in front of his face. Yes, I've been lostin one of them mists, and right scared I was too. It swirled9 round me like a live thing, and touched meall over with its cold damp fingers.'
　　39
　　'How horrid10!' said Anne with a shiver. 'What did you do?'
