Answer:  “BOO–TIQUE“

(I remember Casper being friendly with a little witch named Wendy, and there might have been an episode with a little girl ghost, but I never realized that Casper had settled down.  I’m not sure if that is a good thing, or not.  He seems a little hen-pecked.  And, why would a ghost even want/need to get married anyway???  Hmm!

No new clue words, today.  The jumbling was good, with only “quest” being a jumbling I hadn’t seen before.  The answer letter layout didn’t give the answer away.  But, I can’t imagine too many of you being stumped today.  Cute cartoon.  We’ve had a Casper Jumble in the past, haven’t we?  No more electricity.  Guess it was just a coincidence.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not in my nature.”   —   Jane Austen

(OK.  I have no idea in what context this was said.  Therefore, I don’t know what “loving people by halves” means.  Would some English lit – or chick flick – type please explain it to me?)   —   YUR
