"A waiter arrived with our brandy and cigars, and someone raised the 
subject of ghosts. My friend Maltravers had the first go, and we 
listened in hushed astonishment as he recounted an eerie incident that 
had befallen him one night during his years as a rubber-trader along the 
Burma Road, where he encountered a beckoning wraith that attempted to 
sell him some double-glazing.

It then fell to Smythe-ffoliot to regale us with his account of the 
ancient Saxon curse that has blighted his ancestral home and preyed upon 
his family for twenty-seven generations; something to do with a haunted 
jar of Vegemite, which apparently had also been in his home for 
twenty-seven generations. The hideous jar of unholy Vegemite followed 
its victims up and down stairs at night, calling out to them in a 
sepulchral voice and demanding a loaf of sliced bread so that it can 
turn itself into haunted sandwiches."
