Captain Black walked to where Delaney and Vincent were standing and he looked quite pleased. Delaney looked to see what he could possibly have for her but saw no animal, only a little black velvet pouch with a red ribbon to carry it with.
"Here you are my Dear," he said, holding out the purse to her.
Delaney frowned in confusion but took it. It was light and when she put one hand underneath it she felt it was warm. Her excitement growing, she gently opened the little purse and looked down inside.
A pair of large black eyes like marbles stared up at her and a moment later another pair joined the first. There were two little light grey heads with pointy pink noses and a black stripe ran from between their mouse-like ears down to stop at a point right between their eyes.
