"Hi.." he started, with a tentative smile to the girl, not immediately aware of any talking portraits. "What's going on?"
Wriggling around inside the frame and elbowing her friends in the process Petronella called out excitedly at the sound of a girl voice.
"Oh, hi! I can't see you, but whoever you are, can you please be a gem and remove the dirt from our frame?" Beside her Gladys and Rosemary gave Petronella long hurt looks as they quipped in chorus and massaged their sides.
