The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

*Garli looks confused*.

That's an odd thing to say. What do you mean Philomena?

*She looks at Meadow*.

Is she teasing me? Being a big silly?

*She looks at her nails*.

Oh my nails...

*Garli tuts and sighs, and looks at the two girls*.

Don't suspect I'll ever get married. No. I can't marry Kalvos. He's marrying you Philomena.

*She smiles and her eyes light up*.

I'd love to live in a castle! Sooooo, tell me all about daddy?

Marry Kalvos? No I must marry a king. My father needs to to make a marriage that brings strong allies.

*Philomena looks dazed.*

My father is a great man, he fights against the evil that would destroy the Queen. He is the only man worthy of my love.

*She plays with her necklace.*

I shall get a maid in just to do our nails.

Hello ladies! everything is arranged. Now, how can I help you Philomena?

Hello Garli, are you excited to live in a castle? Did she tell you about the pool and stables?


*Esper looks at Meadow and smiles

Urat must be moved very carefully. Will my father send coaches? Meadow hasn't pack yet. She is being difficult.

Er.... What's going on? This is all getting a bit weird.

*She frowns and tilts her head sideways*.

Urat can't be moved. And we can't go now it's night time. That's silly.

'Meadow looks around the room at all the silly, grinning girls and wonders why whatever is affecting them isn't affecting her'

I'll just sit over here by the window and wait for Kalvos

Well of couse we can't go tonight Garli darling. If you want to stay here instead you are welcome too but there is a room being decorated especially for you. You can be a lady-in-waiting. Mistress of the Robes I think!

Kalvos, is he still hiding?

Meadow, get packed already! This will be an adventure; luxury style!

Garli, dear, you will love the castle with all the nail varnish and mirrors your heart could desire. Urat will have his very own nurse. It will be wonderful!

I like your robe. What material is it?

*She looks vaguely at Esper*.

Yes, that does sound very lovely. Yes. My own room. And a mistress in robes. Not sure about the waiting but, not a servant type am I?

*She smiles*.

Why don't I make us all a big pot of tea, bring out the cheese and biscuits and will have a good night in, talking about marriage, castles and clothes and makeup and stuff. You know the real important things in life!

*She shrugs*.

Kalvos is hiding? I thought he was outside cleaning his horse.
