I like it here. Can I stay? Clemmie did not intend to blurt that out, although she meant every word. Out of nowhere, comforting arms held her close in an embrace, yet, she didn’t need to raise her head to guess who it was, since the faint whiff of rose scent gave her away. The smell she most associated with Harmonie.
Doctor Pax said, ‘You can stay forever, besides, this is your home now.’
‘Can I join in?' asked Mosaic. After he squeezed past Doctor Pax, he pulled both girls into his arms and tickled under their arms which made them scream in delight.
For a while, Doctor Pax stood poised at the door with a smile on his face. ‘Clemmie, change your clothes behind the silk screen in my study. As for you, Mosaic, stop flirting with my secretary

‘Oh...do you believe so?’
‘Ahh, I didn’t mean to upset …’
‘Errr...shall we change the subject? This is the library...and next door is the snug’
Boffin's eyes lit up when he saw the room full of books, but it was next door which grabbed their attention the most. They put their head around the door and saw it was full of furniture. What a lovely place it would be on Christmas Day, full of presents, pantomimes, and a scented pine tree in the corner.
When they reached the foot of the staircase, Mosaic asked if they wanted to go up or down. ‘We’ve only got time for one, and not the other.’
‘Can we go down?’ asked Clemmie. Delicious smells wafted up from the kitchen and tickled her nose. When they went downstairs, they met the cook, who was, in fact, a large woman wearing an even larger apron. On her broad frame, she wore a blue frock with bright orange flowers.
'Hello, my lovelies, I’m Mrs Tiffin. Have you come to look around?' As she stirred a large pot on the stove, Clemmie peered over the rim, then, when Mrs Tiffin held up the wooden spoon, she blew on it, and offered it for Clemmie to taste.
Clemmie licked the spoon and her eyes lit up. 'Oh, yes! It's creamy.'
‘Well, Doctor Pax likes the same food, indeed he does, but I like to experiment with new recipes. So, today it’s porridge ice cream, and tomorrow it will be fish trifle. Now, who would like a cookie?’
‘What flavour?’ asked Kipp. ‘Are they baked beans and
The dusty woven curtains at the end of the hall flapped halfheartedly in the breeze. The window was open, letting in any random bug that happened to pass by, since it had no screen. Margery’s doing, probably. She was Queen of the Hot Flashes. Stopping in front of her apartment, I was annoyed to see ketchup smeared under the brass numeral two.
“My mother would gently set herself down in her customary chair near the stove. I sat across from her, my father and sister to my left and right, and crammed in the center was all the food I had made-a spicy codfish stew,
The King rose from his chair, dabbing the corner of his mouth. “It was?” he utters, his gray eyes void of expression. “The pie I had was divine. You do not know what you’re missing,” he comments, setting down his napkin. He catches a glimpse of the Taster’s body. “Oh, such a shame,” he voice, matter-of-factly.
Boffin's eyes lit up when he saw the room full of books. Next door was the snug. A very cosy snug. They put their head around the door to see it was filled with furniture. Clemmie counted ten squishy cushions. Nine table lamps. Eight beanbags. Seven armchairs. Six coffee tables. Five-foot stools. Four double sofas. Three window seats. Two rocking chairs. And a painting of a partridge on a pear tree. She imagined it was a lovely place to be on Christmas Day, full of presents and pantomimes.
“Sir, does this outfit meet your approval?” asked Will as he stared at himself in the mirror. He saw his master’s reflection twirl a finger at him. He slowly spun, hoping his skirt wouldn’t float up - that was for later.
The odor of the meal was as delectable as the food itself. It consumed the original scent of the house and warmed up the entire room. This same maid set the table and placed the utensils in place and meekly left the room.
Sally is not a proficient cook, and is dependent on her husband’s income for her lifestyle, which appears to be very mundane, and she worries about things that seem insignificant, like being able to make breakfast for her husband, or the fact that he will not learn how to play cards. Her husband is self-centered, more concerned about how his wife dotes on him, expecting her to be able to react to his whims. Admonishing her for suggesting that he eat breakfast downtown, as remarking that a good wife would never send her husband out to work hungry. Sally self blames herself as her maid Mary Elizabeth is late arriving to work and she has to try to prepare breakfast which turns
“I heard. I guess you had a wonderful Christmas.” Anne hugged the little girl tightly before standing. “Why don’t you let me take your coats? Pop and I decided to wait until you came to open gifts.” She smiled up at Kyle.
Clemmie looked at Doctor Pax. He bent down to do the buttons on her coat then stopped when she asked, ‘Do you think they will fall in love?’
One night ago a kid named james went to the store to go get food for his sister and his mom .They lived in St.Louis at the woods where they didn't have signal for phones or anything.In ST.Louis the water is not good to drink because they haven't cleaned the pipes and if you drink it you will die from poisining.So when he went to the store he felt like if someone was following him but he didn't care because he goes to karate.He got tired and sat next to a tree with a sad face because he felt bad for his family because they didn't have that much money and also no signal.When he stood up to walk to the store he saw a big shadow and was ready to hit someone but when he saw what he saw ,he fainted.
I couldn’t believe it. Well actually I could. I had caught my first boyfriend cheating on me with some bitchy hoe from school.
Today is Friday, October 30th and I’m biking home from school with Calum and Natalia, my best friends. It was a warm and sunny day, well enough to wear my favorite shorts. I was about to turn on to my street when I called out, “See ya tomorrow and make sure you don’t come unprepared. We need to give Henry a piece of our minds.”
“ Mom I don’t want to go to the stupid concert tonight please don’t make me go,” I whined
“Mom?” I squealed. My mom had went back to her work with the kitchen counter. I got up from my bed and peeked through my bedroom door.
