Write a pen portrait of Lavinia. |
|
Answer» Lavinia is John Hallock’s wife. The author has depicted her as a very colourful character who is a lady fond of fun and is extravagant. John is quite scared of her fancy shopping. One evening she buys ‘the loveliest’ and duck liest, Ouija Board at a bargain sale. She finds Ouija Boards ‘awfully thrilling’ whereas John considers them to be ‘positively devilish’. He wants her to get rid of the Boards. But she is so amazed at the power of these Boards that she even suggests to her husband to take the help of the Ouija Board to write his stories. Later, she suspects him of flirting with Helen. His domestic life is disturbed but Lavinia when she encounters Helen, the ghost, her doubts are laid to rest. She falls forgivingly into John’s arms and both are reunited. |
