Many thanks to everyone who responded to my query about ghosts. Another query in the same field: in several stories, Kipling refers to "looking in the inkpool". It occurs in "Finest Story Ever Told", I think it is in the "House of Suddhoo" and I noticed it last night towards the end of "Kim". Is there any ethno-ghostly explanation about this, or was this Kipling just trying to create atmosphere? _____________________________________________ Professor Tim Connell Division of Languages Room E4.28 Drysdale Building City University, London EC1V OHB Tel: 0171-477 8265 Fax: 0171-477 8266 Homepage: http://www.city.ac.uk/languages %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
