Siam: Margaret's Letter: School, Spirits, Peggy's Skin

Margaret was back from Phuket and was getting ready for school. She wrote to her mother painting a picture of the school. The girls were very timid about sleeping in a room alone because they were afraid of spirits. Margaret recalls the night when there was such a fear of a spirit that was dancing--it was simply an iron table cloth that had come lose and and was swinging because of the wind.
