“Max went everywhere and tried everything. He visited floating sweetshops where he bought tiny chocolate goldfish that wriggled as you ate them, and toffee shrimps curled snugly in caramel shells. He went to bakeries where he found braided sugar loaves in the shape of boats, and gingerbread pirate ships complete with sugar-drop cannonballs. He passed cake shops that sold ten different kinds of chocolate cake, along with tiny golden vanilla biscuits shaped like dolphins, and shiny opera cakes with layers and layers of almond sponge and coffee cream.”

She thought of the warm kitchen, and Miss Tufton making scones for tea, and her little attic room with the round window that looked out over the green lawns and sparkling glasshouses. She was filled with a wave of longing so powerful that it almost overwhelmed her. “We can really live at Mallowmarsh?” she asked, feeling a sort of bittersweet explosion in her chest. “Together?” “Yes,” said Ma.”

“Max emerged soaking wet, and blinking, and there was a crown of coral on his head. It was, Daisy thought, the most beautiful and wild object she’d ever seen – the colour of a sunset, sharp around its edges, and set with rough pearls that seemed to shift colour with the sea, from blue to green to white.”
