  Jessica Fletcher : Thank goodness it's nonstop from Boston.

  Dr. Seth Hazlitt : To Silicon Valley, huh? Now, let me get this straight. You made up an arcade game, is that it? What is it? One of those mind-numbing, blast-the-enemy space ships gizmos? Or, perhaps it's the one where one little face goes running around eating up all the other little faces.

• Jessica Fletcher : Uh, look, I-I may be right off base here, but would it create the same danger of a cascade if I were to simply write the servant girl out of the story?
