After closing the door behind us we went through a series of corridors until we found ourselves at the end of a cul-de-sac with three doors facing off. The only light came through the transom windows.

“Whose rooms are these?” I asked.

“They’re where my mother keeps her dresses.”

“She has three rooms just for dresses?”

Carlotta raised an eyebrow. “And a separate dressing room.”

“She takes her dresses very seriously.”

Carlotta failed to detect the tone in my voice.

“She certainly did when she was younger. She was a proper debutante. But she hasn’t worn most of these for years. I once suggested that she donate some of them to charity. She didn’t like the sound of that.” She indicated each door in turn. “Pick a door, any door.”

I picked the one in the middle.

The wardrobe space ran right around the walls, even managing to obscure the one remaining window.

“Sunlight robs them of their colour.”

Carlotta pulled at a drawstring and a harsh fluorescent light blinked into life. There were literally hundreds of dresses.

“She’s worn all of these?”

“Well, most of them. She was a real belle of the ball. Before she ruined her figure in childbirth.”

It was my turn to raise an eyebrow but Carlotta just laughed. “Her words, not mine. And there is some truth in it. Giving birth to a werewolf is particularly bad for the waist-line.”

I went over to one of the rails and pulled out a gorgeous midnight blue dress.

“What about this one?”
