Midnight Snack And Other Fairy Tales - Plot & Excerpts
Lola said, standing up straight in the rushing wind and stretching her arms to the sky, “Queen and Goddess, send your servant a sign!” Nothing happened. It was exactly the same kind of nothing that had been happening for the last three days. Lola sat down on her blanket. “Ow, ow, ow, ow!” she said then, getting up fast, and spent the next minute or so shaking the blanket to get rid of the newest fall of pine needles. It took a little more time for her to get the rest of them off her: when she finally sat down again, Lola was still itching. It was all very well, she thought, to talk enthusiastically about “working sky-clad” when the temperature was above 75 degrees. But finding somewhere sufficiently private to do this kind of work meant going up into the mountains, where the wind came howling along through the trees and down into even this sheltered little ravine. The trees then dumped leaves and needles on you, and dust blew in your eyes, and you got cold.
