. . .About twenty ghosts ... seemed to be arguing. What looked like a fat little monk was saying: "Forgive and forget, I say, we ought to give him a second chance --"
. . ."My dear Friar, haven't we given Peeves all the chances he deserves? He gives us all a bad name and you know, he's not really even a ghost -- I say, what are you all doing here?"
. . .A ghost wearing a ruff and tights had suddenly noticed the first years.
. . ."New students!" said the Fat Friar, smiling around at them. "About to be Sorted, I suppose?"
