"Yeah, yeah," she went on with a roll of her eyes. "I'll howl so much your dog will be jealous. Just keep working at those laces. I don't feel like giving you a show while making a fool of myself."
She kept one hand on her bodice to keep it up while Ewan worked and her other hand held up her hair. It seemed like the kid was taking forever, and when it felt secure enough, she turned around suddenly before he even had a chance to tie it closed.
"That should do. I'm only wearing this for like a minute. Now come on," she jerked a thumb towards the door. "Let's get this dare over with so we can move on with this game. Oh, and don't forget about Shaggy. As much as you'd like to wish it, he still doesn't have real fingers."

Any minute creak made her bristle, and she held her breath as she slowly closed the door behind her. But as she turned around to step out int the lawn, her bare foot stepped on her dress and with a gasp,s he began to tumble forward.
