He chuckled. "I suppose they can't help it, can they? But there are good ones, even if they're a bit strange."

“Absolutely!” she agreed. “I think they’re all good these days. In our family, I mean. No more… of the others.” She shivered a little, remembering Michael’s journal.

He nodded. "These Ashes are the best of the batch, as far as I know. The cousins are alright too, I suppose."

He chuckled. "They'll likely be here when the sun sinks; they're an eccentric lot."

"Oh no? Where are you off to?" he asked. "Heading home?"
