    Summary

    “Yes, where is Robin?” Alison asked. “He’s not really been around much the past few days has he?”

     

    Mary smiled, in that fond way she did whenever she thought of Robin being Robin. “'S cause he's gone to see his little friend.”

     

    Julian scoffed. “Squirrels and pigeons don't count as friends, Mary.”

     

    “No, nots the squirrels and birds,” Mary scowled, standing to put her hands on her hips. “Is the man in the shed, that friend.”

     

    The ghosts exchanged glances.

     

    “...Surely not,” Thomas said, but he sounded unsure, looking to the others for guidance. “Surely there couldn't have been another ghost among us that we have simply not noticed.”



    Mary drops a bombshell onto a casual conversation at Button House, leaving the ghosts scrambling. Still, the addition of one more ghost shouldn’t change too much… should it?

    Summary

    "[The Captain] fiddled with his tie as he walked down the corridor, but was stopped in his tracks by a sudden wailing cry. He smirked briefly, unable to suppress his amusement at the thought of Julian and his houseguests, before carrying on down the main staircase, and out into the gardens.

    He’d made the right decision in switching rooms last night, clearly. He had no doubt that Michael’s parents would have provided enough of a disturbance to have made sleep a moot point. And, if nothing else, at least he didn’t have to worry about Thomas phasing through him in the middle of the night.

    At that thought, the Captain abruptly came to a halt. He placed his swagger-stick under his arm and drew in a tremulous breath.

    Nothing about Thomas had been incorporeal last night. Nothing whatsoever. The memory of his solidity, of the weight of his body, of the sheer warmth of that contact—".

    Displaced from his bedroom over the Christmas period, the Captain is forced to make new sleeping arrangements.

    Summary

    It was Julian of all people who first worked it out.

    “Do you know,” he said. “I think this baby can see me.”

    “Don’t be stupid,” Alison said, but even she had to admit that Iris did seem to be following him with her eyes.

    “You always get nutters saying their babies or their dogs see ghosts!” Julian said. “Maybe they’re not nutters after all.”

     

    Sometimes a family is two parents, their baby and the ten ghosts that haunt their house. Scenes from one such family.

    "Mike drummed his fingers again as an idea popped into his head.

    “Hey, Robin.” He called out. “Can you do this sequence?” Mike tapped out a rhythm and waited."

    Mike realises there might be another way to talk to a ghost.
