Coram Boy: Part 3

By JAMILA GAVIN

"And what shall our daughter wear for this special day?" the husband asked his wife.

"Because she was born in October, I shall stitch her a dress of autumn colours," the fine lady told him.

The little girl's birthday dawned and she was all decked out in nut-brown velvet trimmed in red. The gentleman and his fine lady set off to the church with their pretty little daughter between them.

They sat in the front pew and said their prayers. The organ played, the choir sang. The minister raised his hand to give the blessing and make the sign of the cross, but he was interrupted. The east door of the church swung open. Everyone turned to see who had arrived so late. There standing in the threshold were six little girls, all dressed in nut-brown velvet trimmed in red. All were identical to the fine lady's daughter.

At the sight of them, the fine lady gave one dreadful scream and fell down dead.
