Dill: ALICE! Look out! Alice: Uff! Dill! Why'd you do that? Mom: No, there's no such thing as "Ghost Trees." I think Dill was pulling your leg. Alice: I think I'll go pull Dill's leg.
We had a cluster of black gum trees in our yard which was visible from my bedroom window.
One day, my dad cut the trees down. For years afterward, whenever I looked out the window there was something dark and shadowy in that part of the yard.
It was really spooky. Now, I know what they were…ghost trees.
Ghost trees… Toad zombies… Doesn’t anything just stay DEAD in this town? What, is Cul de Sac built over a Hellmouth? There’s even scattered lycanthropy.
Maybe Alice is destined to be a Slayer. And Dill will be her Watcher, keeping tabs on everything through the mail slots…
I pass a couple of HUGE ghost trees on the way out of the subdivision every morning on the way to work. Still ticked at the power company for cutting them down. I understand why right-of-ways have to be clear, but in this case, it would have been cheaper and easier to move the wire- and the trees were there first.

Dill’s good deed will not go unpunished.

And Alice will probably do it literally speaking.

Dill’s action has Alice stumped.

Better stick with manhole covers.

Dill is a true unsung hero!

Maybe she’ll appreciate his chivalry someday.

I agree, ArthurAllen. Manhole covers are the way to go!

Dill is even more special than I thought!

You needed to just “leaf” her alone Dill
