Velvet (2011)
“‘How lovely it is to see you again.’ Madame stood back and seemed to make a brief survey of the shape and height of Mrs Lilac. ‘Your aura is looking very pink today – almost more pink than lilac.’ ‘Is that good?’ Mrs Lilac asked nervously.
‘Indeed it is! Whilst you’re under my roof you are suffused with peace.’ ‘It is lovely to be here again,’ said Mrs Lilac, looking about the room. ‘Everything is so fresh and modern. The flower arrangements, the linens, the colours . . .’ Madame smiled. ‘Surro...unded as I am by spirits from the past, I enjoy having everything new about me. I think they like it when they visit, too.’ ‘What a pleasant thought,’ Mrs Lilac said. ‘Figures from the past enjoying all that’s best about the present.’ ‘I could not have put it better myself,’ said Madame.
George settled Mrs Lilac into an easy chair and shook out a rug ready to put across her knees.
‘I did wonder if we were ever going to see you again,’ Madame said.MoreLess
