Nikola Frye waited patiently in the hallway as Clara a maid began to transfuse the warm tea into one cup then the other to cool it down. Today was Nikola’s big chance of meeting the one and only great author, Ruby Botwright. It was like reading Shakespeare’s literature. Nikola thought smiling secretly to herself. Indeed Ruby certainly had a great profession when it came to writing, and had her work published with a Penguin Books publication. 

One of her most famous books was called “Mourning Softly” with lively illustration by Alexandra Sheffield. Most of Ruby's books began with a paragraph describing various characters in a story.

Quickly, Nikola gulped down her tea in a hurry and made for the door to board the taxi. Meanwhile, Nikola was quite lost in a crowd of people, all making their way to Ruby Bothwright. A passionate young lady fortunately spotted Nikola and helped her through the stampede. Sadly, the book signing time and asking questions was all over, and the room was quite empty. Nikola hid behind a chair and watched the author all on herself in the middle of the hall. Ruby snorted in dismay. “Flowers!” She exclaimed. “Who needs flowers? I'm only here so I can repossess Backfold Cross,where I once lived."

The oppressing famous author threw the flowers in a heap and grandly made her way across the exit of the room, locking the door behind her.
