<DIV>> Pike’s hat?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe the ghost came from the hat! I’m serious – earlier Silk wore
the hat in his mission, and he even preserved it from the unspeakable though
unspecified uses to which Hyacinth might have put it. Isn’t that the sort
of connection which might invoke the traditional kind of ghost? And not
only is the ghost wearing the hat, the hat falls off him when he vanishes –
seemingly it’s the physical hat. </DIV>
