Bligh and Madeleine watched for a while, then as the crowd thinned they approached a gowned priest and asked him what was happening. |
Madeleine curled up into a ball on the floor, drawing her knees tightly to her chest and hugging them. |
Even when Madeleine had brought her home a week ago and taken a Polaroid of her, she had fluttered her wings, but in a gentle way. |
Madeleine noticed a few of the red drops on the cream carpet near the mouth of the bottle. |
Here, she glanced jealously at Madeleine, and it was the first time any emotion had shown on her face. |
Madeleine may appear to be a walking, talking example of Carnaby Street cool, but she's really an unformed youth at heart. |
