"Did she wallop bogeymen with a poker?" The joke -- which is only partially a joke, really -- slips out before it occurs to Susan that this probably won't make the slightest bit of sense to Emma.
Susan's luggage -- of which there is only a single trunk containing toiletries, a few sensible black dresses, charcoal grey skirts, white blouses, and some nightclothes and other intimates -- has been brought up. "I think I'll take that bath now and leave you to your letters. Thank you again, Miss Woodhouse."
As promised, the Ravenclaw bath is quite pleasant, and Susan settles into the hot water with considerable relief. She's starting to feel human again -- perhaps almost normal, even. Maybe things will be all right here after all.
