"Holy Ghost" - Word of the Day from the OED

[Alex Colter]

>
> "'Tis a brumal Night, for behold, it sweepeth by," announces Squire
> Haligast from the shadows, resuming his silence as everyone falls silent to
> attend thereupon,- for the gnomic Squire, on the rare occasions he speaks,
> does so with an intensity suggesting, to more than one of the Guests, either
> useful Prophecy or Bedlamite Entertainment."
