Magaret blinked. Joes, as in the coffy shop not far from the bookstore? She took another look at Lily's picture. A plan began to form in her head.

Kimmy Dawson is pretty good. What kind of drawing do you do, pencil sketches and the like? That's interesting.

I can picture you in a cute coffee girl uniform. I bet a pretty thing like you makes good tips.

Now I'd like to ask you somthing more intimate. Tell me some of your dreams, and some of your fantasies.

For myself I used to dream about being richer than Bill Gates, and having my name become a household item. Nowadays what I want is to help people, to make a difference to some of the worlds "smallfolk".

For my fantasies, I sometimes picture myself at a big formal ball. Its a masquerade, so everyone is masked, but there's one girl who doesn't have one. She young and alone, and very pretty. I ask her to dance, and we step out on the floor together, and when the dance ends she tells me she doens't want to let me go.

How about you Lily?"

Margaret figured this would be useful information for the plan she was starting to hatch, play to the girls romantic side. She wanted this adorable creature.
