My favourite ghost story is Margaret Oliphant's The Open Door. I have just been checking to see if they ever made a film of that, but I don't think so. You could type it for us |

Well, it was an interesting idea, this thing about stuff recorded in the stone. I shall have to think about that one. During the interval tomorrow night. Not before. Now look, I put up with half of the local Brownies turning up in the middle of our Dress Rehearsal to 'audition', and a vile rant by one of the actors because I didn't praise her enough, (or thank her for everything she's done), and being told we only have about an hour to clear everything, including the carpet, on Sunday.... I'm not going to THINK at all in the interval. I'm on the curtains (yes, it's curtains for me). Anyway, I came here for some TLC to get away from all that. TLC? Here?

At least it'll be over by Christmas. But that's what they said about the Great War |
