'How do I look?' said Mirabel.
Colette looked up. The old dear was dressed head-to-toe in all the finery she could possibly adorn herself with.
'Splendid,' said Colette. 'Special occasion?'
She knew, of course, that tonight the veil between worlds would open, just for a night, and they would be able to walk amongst the living. But she liked to give old Mirabel the chance to chat about it. Which she did.
'Oh yes!' said Mirabel. 'Which is why I must look my best.'
'And where are we going tonight, Mirabel?'
The old lady clasped her hands together. 'Well, to see me grandkids of course!'
