Very true- very true.  That is a possibility.  Or maybe there was 
even more to the previous Howler.

Again- something I hadn't thought of.  DD screaming isn't something 
that normally happens.  And, depending on the kitchen, the Howler 
might be echoing around the room.  (I know my grandma's kitchen echos 
like a mountain side, but I have carpets and stuff, so no echoes.)  
And any echoing would distort the voice.
