Jasper And the Green Marvel (2011)
“‘What? Stop! No! Wait! Help!’ Mrs Haverford-Snuffley, who had been walking away, turned back to him, her pale blue eyes full of astonishment. ‘What is it, Professor?’ ‘It’s just – why, it’s nothing – it’s – I – you mentioned the Green Marvel,’ he stammered. ‘Won’t you tell me about it, please?’ ‘Haven’t you heard of it already? I thought it was famous in Woodford. It’s certainly a legend here in Haverford-Snuffley Hall. Come with me and I’ll show you.’ Still carrying the little fox in her arms ...she led Jasper across the lawns to the house and together they went into the hallway, where she stopped in front of a painting.

She had pale skin and a beautiful straight nose. Her flowing gown was made of dark blue silk and she carried a fan made of soft feathers.MoreLess
