[Skulduggery has lost his favourite hat]
Fletcher: It’s only a hat.
Skulduggery: [aghast] Only a hat?
Ghastly: Skulduggery’s a little attached to that hat. He thinks it’s lucky.
Skulduggery: It is lucky. I've never died while wearing that hat.
Fletcher: [frowning] I… I’m not sure I know how to respond.
Ghastly: That’s a common reaction to Skulduggery.
