Astra's Pink Shirt
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 12230
|
The child had clearly seen her, judging by her wide-eyed expression. Astra
saw
her turn away from the window, presumably to call for her mother or
father. Not
wanting a scene, she decided that - undignified though it might be - she
would have
to run for it. She had no time to unpeg any more items from the
clothesline, but
the shirt looked as if it might be just long enough to preserve a degree
of modesty.
Astra vaulted back over the garden fence, the shirt in one hand, and ran into the woodland behind the house until she was out of sight. Then she put on the shirt. As she had hoped, it was just long enough. Its owner must have been a tall man, since Astra herself was almost six feet in height. The owner must also have had a liking for bright colours. If the theft of the shirt was reported, which seemed likely, then she couldn't safely go into the port, as the shirt was so distinctive.
