The Time of the Ghost / int_7e851477	comment	Balancing Death's Books - Subverted with Cart offering Oliver's soul for Sally's and being rejected. Played straight at the end, when Sally lives but it turns out Julian died. Hardly a big loss, though.

The Time of the Ghost / int_b11ac9f5	type	Abusive Parents
The Time of the Ghost / int_b11ac9f5	comment	Abusive Parents - Mostly through neglect, which is still pretty bad: Not having any food in the house is treated as a regular occurrence. When the girls take food from the boarding school's kitchen, the cook - and their mother - scolds them, though they don't have anything else to eat. Through a large part of the book, neither parent realizes one of their daughters is absent. Fenella ties her hair into knots to see how long it would take her parents to notice. They never do.
