"The ship will be dismantled which is an entirely different thing. I'm afraid you can't call it a cargo ship on those grounds." Vaneski didn't say anything.

"My impoliteness was doubtless the need of breakfast. But when was I impolite? I don't remember, honest!" "Of course, you don't; how could you," she went on rather indifferently. "Were you not such a capable Chancellor I might be more offended.

I was unable to comply with her request, as personally I do not believe the house was haunted at all. Moreover, to prevent the sale or letting of any particular house by asserting it to be haunted would be an offence under the libel laws.
