Not a pleasant face by any means, yet not altogether bad, as she tells herself in the generosity of her heart. "Yes, you do," says Mona, with a little obstinate shake of her head. "You call us dirty, for one thing." "Certainly not," says Geoffrey: "I blush for you. I never yet heard of a ghost that was not strictly decent. It would have had a winding sheet, of course.
