10th Writing Blog - Description of Davidina

I'm hoping to include this piece in the story Louisa Todd and the Lost Gems. 


I would like the reader to note that the characters are animals, just like with the description of Captain Martin Nelson.  Mind that this piece might be rewritten. 


     Lady Todd entered the room and saw her.  The vixen Davidina was sitting beside a table in the office, playing an Irish fiddle.  The tune was sadly mournful, but what took, Todd's breath away as the fact that Davidina showed the looks of an experienced violinist, despite looking of about ten years. 
     "How long she been like this?" Louisa asked Officer Chang. 
     "Ever since we brought her here."  The mouse answered the vixen lady.  "After she saw her father's body, she just took her violin and started playing."  He and Louisa looked at the player, "And I must say, she is good." 
     Louisa watched as the violinist went from mournful tune to ceilidh tune (the song Granuaile's Dance Louisa was sure), her right foot tapping the floor for a moment before she got up and started dancing around the room, waving her long black wild hair in her wake.  The sight took Louisa's breath away again as she watched Davidina play till the end of the song, turned to face her audience and bowed. 
     "Unbelievable."  Louisa said under her breath. 


I hope that you like this piece and hear what you think of it.
