PARLEY CONVERSING WITH THE INVISIBLE GHOST"Well," he said at length, "granting that there are such things as ghosts, and that you are one, what the deuce do you come bothering me for? Just wanted to plague me, I suppose, and get me to smash my furniture."
"Not at all," retorted the ghost. "I didn't ask you to smash your furniture. On the contrary, I warned you that that was what you were going to do. You suggested smashing me, and I told you to go ahead."

"It is not my habit to have opinions, but..."
There is much that is clever and interesting in Bangs collection of loosely linked short stories, with a dabble of science fiction and pseudo-fable. He is a fun writer, and is not afraid to play with his more famous contemporaries and their reputations,
The stories are a lot of fun . The author made me laugh and smile for which I am grateful .
