She's in a bad mood tonight," said Mrs. wyvern. "She won't get ready for bed when she's angry and difficult like this. She's going to sleep in her clothes. People say she was very beautiful when she was young. Her dresses are old-fashioned now, but you can see they were expensive I went to bed. I lay awake and thought about my new life at Applewale House. I didn't really like it. The next day I mended clothes in my room. I didn't hear a sound from Madam Crowl's room, I wanted to see the old lady, but my aunt told me to stay in my room I went downstairs for dinner and then my aunt sent me outside for a walk. The gardens around the house were dark and lonely. I thought of home and cried. That evening I sat in my room again. The candless were lit and I looked at the pictures in an old book. My door was open and the door to Madam Crowl's room was open. And then I heard her voice for the first time. It sounded like a small bird or animal. I couldn't understand what she said. Then I heard my aunt's voice. "The devil 9 can't hurt you, madam," said my aunt. "God is watching over us. And then it was quiet again. My aunt came to my door. "Madam Crowls asleep at last," she said. "Don't make an noise until I get back. I'm going downstairs for tea" And she left. I was pretending to look at the pictures in the book, but really I was listening. I felt nervous. I got up and started to walk around my room. Then found myself at Madam Crowls door. I looked in and saw very large bed with curtains all around it. The bed curtains were closed. The room was full of light I counted twenty-two candles. On one wall was the biggest mirror I had ever seen.
