: : : : : Hi!
: : : : : Could anyone tell me the meaning of " phrase through" in the following sentence?
: : : : : "She starts pounding on the door, and inadvertently phrases through it just as Lance is passing by."
: : : : : Any help would be appreciated.

: : : : "Phrases through" doesn't make sense at all. It must be a typo for "passes through" or "pierces through" or something else.
: : : Hi,R.Berg,I just made a howler. It should be "phase through". Even so it still looks confusing to me.

: : "Phase through" doesn't make sense either, unless the story is set in an alternative world and the writer has taken liberties with quantum physics so that, say, a pounding fist can liquefy a solid door.

: I don't suppose the female protagonist is a ghost or anything, is she? Or, if not a ghost, Death's grand-daughter, the wonderful Susan Sto Helit, also had the knack of being able to walk through solid objects if she put her mind to it.

: (That last sentence will only make sense to Pratchett fans - and for those, please note that The Wee Free Men has just been released in the bookshops.)

Hi,R.berg and TheFallen,I deeply appreciate your time and effort in answering my question. Now I do see the light. Due to my carelessness, I didn't state it clearly from the start. The quoted sentence was taken from "X-men Evolution Episode Guide." Accordingly, the female protagonist is a character with paranormal powers.
