The time the villagers spent in the market was cut short because of the sudden invitation to the hallow ball. It became the most discussed topic among the villagers.
Those invited were head over heels because of it. Every household invited showed off the invitation to people that were not invited in an attempt to make them envious of them. Among them were Mrs. Perkin and Mrs. Williams the village gossipers who behaved as if the king invited them to eat with him.
While the people were happy and jubilating because of the hallow ball, Perdita was still annoyed because of it. Her face was gloomy through the days' sale. Immediately the evening came, she closed her stall and headed to the house of Mr. Malphus.
She had told her brother about the advanced pills Mr. Malphus spoke about, and Marco had asked her to buy some of them. They wanted to check how the pill was and know if they would take it or if they would continue taking the one they had been buying for a long time.
