When the Ainley's are telling ghost stories for quite a while Arthur gets kind of nervous. And then suddenly the the lod that had been blazing on the hearth collapsed. The room is almost totally dark. Arthur gets even more nervous and kind of scared. He wants to turn on the lights, but he's paralysed. Then the Ainley's ask Arthur if he wants to tell a ghost story, because it's tradition for them. Arthur doesn't want to and panics. He says 'No no.' 'Nothing from me.' But the Ainley's insist. Then he says: 'I am sorry to disappoint you.' 'But I have no story to tell!' and then he went quickly from the room and from the house. You could also read that Arthur did know a ghost story, a real one. One that he had been part of. But apparently he was so afraid of it and it remembered Arthur of such an awful time that he really didn't want to tell it. But at the end he calms down and goes back home. He decided to write his ghost story on paper, so he could just let it go.
