In reply to Cynthia Jane Holloway (msg #88):
Miles stopped and looked at Cynthia, face brightening with glee.
"Oh, you're a friend of Aleister's, then! Good! My friend! And his friends are my friends! They don't like to talk about it, no. But they should. It makes me mad that they seem to like what I do but they don't want to talk to me, to... Do you like what I did? I made that frame for Aleister him a couple of months ago. Are you interested in seeing more? I have some more, you know. Some of the better ones, not open on display."
He reversed course and bounded past her back up the stairs. At the top he turned opened a small closet door. Nothing jumped out, Cynthia could see (from where she stood on the stairs) there were some artist's supplies inside, and part of the frame of a painting of some kind. It had the same motif and design as the mirror.
Miles answered his mother, "Mum! Not to worry, just showing her the painting! The best one! Maybe she'll buy it!"
