They had been sitting in the emergency ward, waiting for the doctor to return with the X-ray of Jacinta’s blackened toe. Cecelia called the Ritz and asked to be put through to Ambrosia Headlington-Bear’s room, but they told her that there was no one by that name staying there. Odd, Cecelia thought, seeing that when she and Charlotte had seen Ambrosia in the foyer, she was looking like part of the furniture and hadn’t mentioned that she was staying anywhere else. Cecelia tried Ambrosia’s mobile next. It rang and rang and then went dead. ‘That’s strange,’ Cecelia said to herself. ‘I can’t even leave a message.’ ‘Did you get hold of Mummy?’ Jacinta asked as Cecelia returned to the room. ‘Sorry, darling. She must be out of range.’ ‘Yes, you know the phone reception around Winchesterfield isn’t very good,’ said Alice-Miranda. She hadn’t told anyone other than Millie that she’d seen Ambrosia in Paris. She would talk to her mother about it when they were on their own.
