GK Chesterton had taken issue with the Holmes quotation. He’d said that if you told him the Prime Minister was haunted by a ghost, that was impossible, whereas if you told him that the Prime Minister had slapped Queen Victoria on the back and offered her a cigar, that was merely improbable, but he knew very well which of the two was more likely to be true. Which was all very well, but Aaron didn’t believe in ghosts. He reminded himself of that several times as he walked home.
KJ is writing goals!
