"Mina, how did you...?"
"I'm small, Robin, nobody sees me."
Whatever had compelled Robin, on a night not unlike this one, to take the small, scared, lonely little girl Mina had been under her wing, it had been worth it. Maybe it was just what the kitchen maid had said, before killing the dormouse she had taken as a pet- She was desperate for something to love. Whatever the reason had been, in the three years they had stuck it out here, Mina had proven herself to be one of the lightest fingers Robin had ever seen. She could steal a ring off of your own finger, and you'd never know. And so, they ate a little better than the other girls at Mother Mary's.
