Oh dear, now they actually thought George was coming. Clearly Ford couldn't actually send him to face this woman, because he would literally wither. He supposed that was his own fault for making a joke no one understood, though; now he'd have to figure out what to do about it.
"He doesn't have to 'lay low,'" Ford protested. "He has just as much right to be here as she has. Arguably more, because he lived here first. Anyway — if you'd like to relocate, Mr. Burrows, due to your unpleasant new neighbors, my office would be happy to assist you," he told the ghost. Now that the woman who'd so aggravated him had stormed off, Ford was once again all professionalism and politeness. Mr. Burrows made it easy, of course, by not calling Ford names and raising his voice. "Otherwise I'll find someone to deal with this, sooner or later. But as long as you're not going out of your way to be a nuisance you're entirely within your rights under the Spirit Protection Ordnance of 1886, and you can tell her so."
