To stop Martha from complaining, Jane squashes her under her seat, and then absently drops her handbag down, and Martha uses it as a pillow. "I hope," says Eager, "it is not necessary to remind you what was in the handbag." Then Martha says, "I wish I weren't here." Immediately she is half there. Then occurs one of my favorite sentences:
"It is not often that one is watching a movie, and suddenly a wailing ghostly figure rises from the floor and scrambles past one."
