When Jenny got home, Creamy was in the kitchen with Ma. Creamy's eyes were very red from crying and Jenny gave her a big cuddle. Creamy's dad had died.
'Jenny would you do a quick errand for me please?' asked Ma, and she took Jenny out into the garden.
'I've put a supper basket in the barn.' whispered Ma 'only leftovers today. I didn't get time to do any baking. Could you run it down to Dolly Clockaclay and ask her to hand it out tonight when it's dark and not before. Dolly is the only one I trust not to eat the lot, she likes to stay slim does Dolly. Tell her thank you very much and give her this present from us both.'
Ma took the jumble sale mirror compact out of her apron pocket. It was gold coloured with a picture of blue butterflies on it.
'Oh Ma, Dolly will love it.' giggled Jenny 'She'll love looking at herself in a mirror.'
