Summary
Sequel to Funeral Tea and Reunion. On a wild Christmas Eve night, our five spirited ladies use a Ouija board to ask where the late Jacob Starkie wants his ashes strewn. (His first choice, a cricket field, will soon be a high rise building.) They'd also like to know if the money that he left them was acquired illegally. Both questions are answered, though not in the way the ladies had planned. A mysterious intervention clears the dearly departed's good name.
