Yeh toh tegerence book ka answer hai. Merko koi aur points chahiye
Lavinia, the volatile wife of John Hallock, is a colourful character. She is fun loving and extravagant. John is scared of her fancy shopping. He remembers her craze for taking up new fads. John can’t devote his whole time to writing. He has to work as a book-keeper to earn a living and ‘pay for Lavinia’s fancy’ shopping. One afternoon she buys ‘the loveliest’ and duckliest, darlingest Ouija board at a bargain sale. However, her husband thinks that it is a “foolish thing” to buy. She considers Ouija boards “awfully thrilling” but John considers them “positively devilish.” She is quite excited and interested in the “other world.” She even says that the Ouija board can help him in writing his stories. Through his Ouija board he can talk to Napolean or Helen of Troy. He need not wear his eyes over books.The rumour about John in the Ouija party upsets Lavinia. The idea of John flirting with Helen on the Ouija board is unbearable. Lavinia doesn’t excuse her husband. The next day she threatens to go back to her grandmother. Once John feels that it was the end of his domestic bliss and peace. She suspects that John is hiding Helen in the room, and flirting with her. Only when she encounters Helen her doubts are laid to rest. The unattractive ‘owl-eyed’ ghost can’t be her rival. She can’t pose any danger to her. In the end, she fell forgivingly in John’s arms. A satisfied smile spreads over her face.
