@virtuouscandlelight asked: “ You seem like you’ve been through quite a lot. There’s an interesting air surrounding you. “
And to add on to more of the poor woman’s zany encounters, here’s a Virtuous Angel.
“ Your hair reminds me of the sunlight . . may I touch it ? “
“ I have been through quite a lot!” Oh, finally! Someone understood! And she seemed to say that without any hint of sarcasm or any drop of ridicule. What a relief that was. “Oh, how could you tell? Is it an air about me or can you read my mind?” Alice hoped it wasn’t the latter. It was much harder to keep her thoughts in check the way it was to keep her mouth in check, and she found watching the words that she said to be quite difficult.
As if to check, Alice pulled a bit of her hair forward in her fingers that she could see, inspect. It was rather yellow, wasn’t it? “I suppose you can! Perhaps it is as close as one can get to touching the sun. Unless you’ve touched the sun, yourself. In which case, this might be rather boring for you.”
