Solution
Mrs. Groover continued to look at me with a strange look in her eyes which frightened me. I asked her whether she believed in 'Unke, Munke, Timpetoo'. She suddenly gave out a shriek and started moving towards me with hands outstretched. I was so scared that my feet did not move nor any words came out from my mouth. She had a savage look on her face. I felt that there was something more to Mrs. Groover, no wonder she was staying alone with an evil looking dog. Somehow, I managed to run away from Mrs. Groover. The next day I came to understand that Mrs. Groover never stayed in that house.
