Ghost's Ghost. Hoskin had "gone Eastern" while working for a career-counseling firm in London. He shaved his head, grew a beard, changed his name and wrote a rhyme to his managing director: "You may wonder why I go on so But will you please remember I am Kuan Suo."

Malignant, hated, despised, physically maladroit, the Snopeses prevail over better men by their rapacity and lack of pride or shame. They are like monkeys on the backs of men, and they move to "the blind glare of the blind money...
