Three silver bracelets clang on her wrist like church bells, and as they embrace stiffly, one gets tangled in Violet's hair.
Her mother picks the strands off gingerly and rolls them into a ball in her palm with a French manicured fingertip.
The bin is sensor-operated and says, Thank you, in an American accent.
The ghost snorts.
Dinner is things on crackers that smell like the sea.
There is fruit for dessert, eaten with forks that look like tridents, and Violet wonders abstractly if Poseidon had washed them after sparing whatever was on the crackers.
She also wonders, less abstractly, if the man with the chocolate is still around somewhere.
Sleep does not come easy, however many times she tells the ghost to stop pacing.
It won't make morning come any sooner, she says, recycling the line of her first nanny when she would spin in dizzying circles late on Christmas Eve.
You'll be like me again, it says.
The grandfather clock strikes two.
You'll be like me again, it says again, and she smiles into her pillow.

She held a dagger with a gentle expression on her face, corn syrup and food colouring coating her fingertips.
A third, she stood on a bed of roses, crushing them beneath her clenched toes.
These were enough.
