“I’d like Bridget to meet you,” says Alison Alexandra.
“No.” R/Jane-the-Ghost shakes her head. “That can’t happen.”
“She’s my cousin,” says Alison Alexandra. “Blood relation, and straight as a die.”
“No – that’s not the way it works.” R/Jane-the-Ghost smiles. “Even though I like your little pun. Trust me.”
“She’s been to the Mansion.”
“Not my department,” says R/Jane-the-Ghost. “As you know – I have not.”
“I’ve noticed that,” says Alison Alexandra.
“Different stages of departure,” says R/Jane-the-Ghost. “As for me – I am well and truly dead.”
“Well then.” Alison Alexandra actually tries to see her companion. “Do you have any advice?”
“About what?”
“How to deal with this Pandemic?”
“You’ve got booze stacked away?”
“Yes. And more coming.”
“Then that pretty well covers it,” says R/Jane-the-Ghost. “Creature comforts for the creature. Your spirit will take care of itself.”
“Body and soul,” suggests Alison Alexandra.
“When threatened, your body will be more aware of your soul.” R/Jane-the-Ghost smiles. “The booze will make it easier for you to say ‘hello’.”
“Cousin Bridget would like to know that.”
