“Agatha?”
“I don’t know. She was beautiful,” Agatha groused, remembering their fart-filled introduction.
“And now?”
“She’s revolting.”
“Has she gotten less pretty?”
“No, but—”
“So is she beautiful or not?”
“Yes, at first sight—”
“So beauty only lasts a glance?”
“Not if you’re a Good person—”
“So it’s being Good that matters? I thought you said it was looks.”
Agatha opened her mouth. Nothing came out.
“Beauty can only fight truth so long, Agatha. You and Beatrix share more in common than you think.”
“Great. I can be her animal slave,” Agatha said, and bit into her plum.
Professor Dovey stood up. “Agatha, what do you see when you look in the mirror?”
“I don’t look in mirrors.”
“Why is that?”
“Because horses and hogs don’t sit around ogling their reflections!”
“What is it you’re afraid you’ll see?” Professor Dovey said, leaning near the pumpkin candy door.
“I’m not afraid of mirrors,” Agatha snorted.
