The final member of the Shog family to argue with Goldman about his abridgement. Karloff, Goldman explains, is the most popular name for girls in Florin, and Carly is a beautiful woman in her mid-thirties. However, Goldman decides she's horrible when she explains that she's going to drop the lawsuits against Goldman as long as he agrees to support Stephen King in abridging Buttercup's Baby. Goldman describes all this in the introduction to Buttercup's Baby; Carly does not feature in the original novel.
