Staircase
A little act of hers that she often enjoyed- the kids, the most. The awe and astonishment in their expressions were enough to make her perform it again and again. Mary said she was not a performing monkey and yet, she never stopped performing the same tricks. Their curiosity was satisfying.
With a little tap of her gloved hand against her bun, ensuring it was still perfectly in place- it always was- she would hop onto the bannister. No matter how tall, it was hardly an effort for her. With ease, she sat upon the wooden ledge, drifting upwards until she either faced the children or they followed after her. Always the excitement and the questions. Answers she never gave.
Though, it was not all for the children. If she were tired, there was nothing more that she liked than taking a ride on the bannister. It was far easier than taking the stairs.
Guess who's back... Long time, no see. Anyway, I've been incredibly busy this summer and have just gotten settled on my masters, so now that's all over, I'm hoping to be more active and have these back out again at a more frequent rate. Hope you've all had a fab summer! Please enjoy :)
