Any fool could see what's going on in that house: who's in love, who's in trouble, and who's in need of a swift kick in the pants. And if Sam weren't the most irritating, hard-headed man this side of the Pacific, why, I'd give him a private reading--and tell him the spirits have a whole lot more in store for him.
