Somehow I’ve become another Jessamy in a different time! It must be a different time because of the clothes. Nobody wears long skirts like Matchett and Aunt now—I mean that—oh, I don’t know what I mean!
A young girl with long black hair and a red bow kneels at the edge of a
                courtyard.
