Wishing Water (2013)
“She hadn’t wanted to come in the first place. Now they’d actually arrived, fighting for space against a tide of other girls in a stuffy cloakroom, Jan was urging her to put on some pink lipstick. Lissa looked doubtful. ‘I’ve never worn lipstick.’ But seeing Jan’s expression, obediently took out a small mirror from her bag and complied. She did feel rather good in a lavender linen dress that had a small Peter Pan collar and turned back cuffs on the short capped sleeves. Its skirt was full, the ...waistline fitting snugly, nipped in with a broad black belt.
Jan nudged her. ‘Look at these toffs coming in, all dressed up to the nines in their little bow ties. Lord, they look like penguins.’ She started to giggle. ‘I can’t see them getting up and dancing to our Derry’s racket, can you?’ Since Lissa hadn’t yet heard him play so felt unable to comment but they did seem somewhat forbidding, very stiff and formal. The two girls put their cloakroom tickets inside their shoes and headed for the dance floor.MoreLess
