The Ghost and Mrs. Muir — Josephine leslie

Lucy Muir didn't mind when they told her that Gull Cottage was haunted. It was just what she and her two children wanted, so they moved right in. She wore her widowhood lightly, savoring every moment of her new independent life -- and no ghost was going to change that.

But what can a well-bred lady do with the ghost of a handsome, salty sea captain given to indelicate language, wide-open windows in winter, and occupying the same bedroom as the mistress of the house? How Mrs. Muir found the answer to that question is what this uniquely amusing, touching ghost story is all about.
