mistressmaryquitecontraryMary is sneaking through the hallways of Mistlethwaite Manor.
Mary is sneaking through the hallways like she hasn't had to do in quite some time - and sharp eyes might notice that her stomach is . . . oddly puffy.
Also, squirming.
Colin's door is open, but Mary closes it behind her when she enters. One hand still on her stomach.

She looks out the window.
And then, solemnly, she unbuttons her cardigan to reveal the long-toothed kitten wriggling unhappily inside.

Date: 2006-12-15 06:59 am (UTC)"Mary!"
The kitten is eyed then before he says, slowly, "I do not think the teeth should be so big."
He's still looking at it with something that miiiight be glee.

Date: 2006-12-15 07:12 am (UTC)She sets the kitten down, carefully; the kitten promptly proceeds to wander over to investigate this new living smell, namely, human.
"I am meant to be taking care of her."

Date: 2006-12-15 07:15 am (UTC)"Does my father know?
He does not care.
He is only curious.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-15 07:20 am (UTC)Eventually he will!
Probably.
The kitten eyes Colin, and takes a step closer, nose delicately extended.
"But they are always giving you too much food now anyways," she adds, earnestly. "There will be lots for her to eat."
no subject
Date: 2006-12-15 07:26 am (UTC)Probably.
"This is true," he concedes, and waits, still watching the cat.
"What is her name?"
no subject
Date: 2006-12-15 07:30 am (UTC)"People suggested things. I thought you might want to help pick."
no subject
Date: 2006-12-15 07:36 am (UTC)"I could help with that."
no subject
Date: 2006-12-15 07:39 am (UTC)"Well, Lucy said Helena, and Steven said Kate. So that is two."
Meanwhile, the kitten has gotten close enough to Colin's hand to start rubbing against it. (You never know where there are strange cats about. Territory must be marked!)
no subject
Date: 2006-12-15 07:46 am (UTC)Though she is very sweet.
"They are nice names," he says, stiffly.
He did not think of them.
"What sort of name would you like?"

Date: 2006-12-15 07:50 am (UTC)The kitten sneezes.

Date: 2006-12-16 04:57 am (UTC)"Well, she will not always be little. It would be silly to name her a little-type name if she will outgrow it."
no subject
Date: 2006-12-17 08:56 am (UTC)"--I have never," it's a little stiff, "named an animal."
no subject
Date: 2006-12-19 05:11 am (UTC)"Dickon has named lots. But when I asked him he said he did not know."
He'd said a lot of other things, but Mary is ignoring them for now.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-19 05:18 am (UTC)"I like Angel."
Colin does not know he believes in angels, but he likes the name.
He especially likes the angels with the flaming swords, but he would be disappointed to meet one Mr Fell and learn what they're really like.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-19 05:21 am (UTC)"She was given to me by a god," she says, eventually, with an air of decision. "She might be a sort of angel, like that.
"Angel is a good name."
no subject
Date: 2006-12-19 05:37 am (UTC)"Which god?"
no subject
Date: 2006-12-19 05:44 am (UTC)(It's mispronounced.)
"From another world."
