Perhaps my favorite of this series of stories about the Latimer ghosts. It is only loosely connected to the other 2
(Brief Candles and Happy Returns) as the currently mortal
kinfolk with whom the Latimer ghosts are interacting are different --instead of Jeremy and Sally Latimer, they are
Richard Scroby and his (very Wodehousian) aunt. Scroby knocks a cat burglar out his window and flees to Paris, pursued by his aunt (who wants him respectably married) and
the burglar's accomplices (who want him dead). I first read this about 40 years ago in a library copy, and was very glad to find it had been reprinted so I could buy it.
