and groan through keyholes, and walk about at night, if that is what you mean. It is my only
reason for existing.'
'It is no reason at all for existing, and you know you have been very wicked. Mrs. Umney told
us that you had killed your wife.'
'Well, I quite admit it,' said the Ghost, 'but it was a purely family matter.'
'It is very wrong to kill any one,' said Virginia.
'Oh, I hate the cheap severity of abstract ethics! My wife was very plain and knew nothing
about cookery. However, it is no matter now, for it is all over, and I don't think it was very
nice of her brothers to starve me to death, though I did kill her.'
Oh, Mr. Ghost, I mean Sir Simon, are you hungry? I have a sandwich in my case. Would you
like it?' asked Virginia.
'No, thank you, I never eat anything now; but it is very kind of you and you are much nicer
than the rest of your horrid, rude, vulgar, dishonest family.' Sir Simon said.
