It would seem that Ruth is going to have another Ophelia encounter. (Those tend not to go well. ) Who's hoping that she's going to give Nessie a well-deserved smacking?
And Ruth's hair is cross-hatch! Wheee!
"You made a pendulum out of a <i>battery</i>?"
"Indeed. And it holds charge quite well, I may add."
Ophelia seems effective at countering Ruth's anti-ghost tactics. She may be a more powerful or more determined ghost than Ruth's used to. Smacking Nessie may not be enough to drive Ophelia out.
And there's really no way Ruth would be able to EXPLAIN to Nessie why she hit her...
I am no one who is someone who may yet become anyone so long as he trusts no one.
Well, I just figured it would be better to have some reply to "What the hell was that for?!" besides "Because you're a brat and I felt like it," or "Because there's a ghost in your hair."
