Kate concussed in the purse-snatch

quote

The apparition spun itself violently around, trying to shake off Ruth van Cleve, and her/its spin with her purse took the strap-attached Kate Gompert (who didn't weigh very much) out around in a wide circle (she'd had a flashback of reminiscence back to Crack-the-Whip at the Wellesley Hills Skating Club's rink's 'Wee Blades' Toddler Skating Hour, as a child), gaining speed; and then a rust-pocked curbside lightpost rotated toward her, also gaining speed […]

Context

Poor Tony's spin whips Gompert in a widening circle into a lightpost, complete with a childhood Crack-the-Whip flashback mid-arc. Violence as rotation.
