Frogged
“A coin pouch.
Life on the stage can be SO humiliating, Imogene thought.
Already Ned’s decision to have her perform in the play had cost her the one friend that she’d currently had in the world—even if Luella could only be accounted as a temporary, sort-of friend. Now there was this pouch. The costume element came from a bunch of feathers stuck into the unimaginative brown lump of yarn. In addition to the fancy plumes borrowed from the hats in the costumes chest—one each of pheasant, ostrich, an...d peacock—were ones Ned had picked up as they walked: Imogene recognized starling and sparrow. And one that might, by purest chance, actually be crow. Two of the feathers had their shafts bent and angled and placed in such a way as to look like wings.
Assuming that a crow could have such skimpy wings.
And that one wing could be gray and the other brown and black striped.
Ned backed Imogene into the feathery pouch, then tugged on the drawstring so that the material puckered around and framed her face—the only part of her that showed.MoreLess
