- Come along, my dear.

- Apart from my bit of nonsense, the curious thing is that all of you, even Sally, seems to have had one of these extraordinary experiences.

- Perhaps they aren't so extraordinary. Perhaps they happen to most people.

- Oh, you mean there's a ghost as well as a skeleton in everyone's cupboard? That's a pretty thought.
