[...]

- What's going to happen now?

- Darling! Oh, darling?

- Do I make passes? Or do I make passes?

- Really, Eliot, that story is totally incredible and decidedly improper.

- Sorry, I had to tell it. I couldn't bear to be left out in the cold.

- That wasn't why you told the story. You did it to try and help me, didn't you?

- You succeeded, where I failed Eliot. And in a double sense.

- Craig, you said that the horror started when Eliot told about the death of a man you'd never heard of. Didn't you?

- That's right.

- Well, Eliot just described how his friend Potter committed suicide. You'd never heard of Potter before, had you?

- No, I hadn't.

- Yet the horror hasn't started, has it?

- No, it hasn't.

- There you are, you see.

- I'm so glad. The spell has been broken at last. Now, I can go and see about dinner with an easy mind.

- I'll lend a hand, if I may?

- Oh, thank you, my dear. That's very kind of you.
