Elizabeth is thrilled that Ivan is interested in the story-- and also thrilled about making herself comfortable and warm against Ivan's chest. She takes a few moments while Ivan is grousing about Miles and his ability to find trouble wherever he goes to laugh and tuck her head against Ivan's shoulder.

"It's actually a ghost story, truth be told. The main character-- well," Elizabeth taps the book on Ivan's chest. "Should I just read it to you? I'm no Charles Dickens, he tells the story better than I would." All told, it's a pretty thin volume-- maybe about 100 pages.
