"Usually we give it to someone at a post office, like wizards do. Then they send the letters by plane or car, depending on how far they're going. Then either we'd pick the letter up from the post office or someone would deliver it to us." Emmy laughed a bit as she said this. "I never thought I'd be explaining to someone how the mail system works!!" she exclaimed. Quote:
Alice smiled "Your family sounds absolutely interesting!" Alice smiled. "Well, my entire family is part of the Victorian Historical Society on Prince Edward Island, which is in Canada." She started, "My family lives as if we were a regular Victorian family I guess. My mother loves to do potions though, she keeps all of her stuff in the attic of our house. My father is nice, but quiet. In my family I tend to do most of the talking, I just talk and talk and talk and dad just smiles from under his handlebar mustache. Mother and I sew all fo our clothes, which is quite fun. I also read a lot, father reads to us int he evenings while we sit round the fire, him in his big wing back chair. mother in her rocking chair and I sit on the carpet right next to the fire with Percival, my kitten that I've mentioned, mothers Raven Hubert, and fathers rat Norrington. Surprisingly Norrington and Percival and Hubert all get along quite well." She said then smiled at Emerald once more.
"What do you like to do in your spare time? does your family have one of those... telephones? Or a gasoline car?" she asked interested.
"Your family sounds wonderful!!" Emmy exclaimed. " I read or play piano, violin, or guitar. And yes, we do have a few cars and a telephone." Emmy shook her head in disbelief. No cars?? " How do wizards get to different places? Do you walk everywhere?" She shuddered at the thought.
