Tom Tom the Incredible Two-Faced Boy

SOLD

The Sisters have given the Social Workers here at Mrs. BO their blessing to take the Orphans on an outing to the Circus...curiously enough, their favorite attraction seems to be Dr. Midnite's Side Show.

One of the most popular exhibits is Tom Tom the Two-Faced Boy.

Tom Tom is a particularly fine example of Maternal Imprinting -- his mother was plagued all throughout her pregnancy by a persistent, repetitive sense of deja-vu after seeing a double-feature matinee horror movie about the circus. It continued even when she was doubled over with labour pains that came in pairs. He is (of course) a Gemini....

Night Terror

SOLD

The Orphans have been awakening
with screams in the dead of Night.

Dead tramps are found in the graveyard near the railroad tracks, behind the Orphanage...

The Vicar has assured the Sisters and Social Workers the situation is under control...but all things indicate the presence of a Night Terror here at Mrs. BOs!

Night Terrors leap on one's bed and scream in one's ear, pulling faces, cackling and gibbering all manner of horrid things to haunt one's dreams and waking hours...and some are powerful enough to do physical harm...

The Insomnia Fairy

SOLD

One of the social workers here at the Orphanage discovered the Insomnia Fairy flitting about the house in the dead of Night.

Ahem.

Perhaps "flitting" isn't the right word. The poor thing is always so exhausted it trudges, rather than flitting about...

The Sisters constantly find the Orphans awake and wandering about, or simply standing and staring, much like the Insomnia Fairy itself...

Be warned, if this Fairy comes to live with you, your pillows will get lumpy, the bedroom will be too hot or too cold, and all manner of other things to stop you sleeping will begin to happen, and no amount of Dr. Caligari's Tonic for Ordered Slumber will have any effect.

Orphan Basil

SOLD

Basil found a boomerang in the brambles behind Mrs. BO...to date, he's belligerently broken five windows, Mr. Brebble's eyeglasses, and a brindle cat.

The cat will recover, but Mr. Brebble will have that nasty Twitch for the rest of his life...

We here at Mrs. BO feel Basil would best be placed with a Family with a large yard, or a home without furnishings or pets. Unbreakable eyeglasses may be a plus.

Masheck the Goblin

SOLD

Mashek the Goblin has recently moved into the Kitchen at Mrs. Blathersby's; he's living behind the stove.

Mashie decided to take up residence the day he saw Mrs. BO's cook, Mrs. Skimpole, at the Goblin Market purchasing provisions for the Orphanage. It was love at first sight, and he followed Cook home.

Poor Mashek!!

It is unrequited love, alas; Cook has screaming fits at the least glimpse of Mashie, so he must be content with admiring the Object of his Affection from afar, darting from behind the stove occasionally to steal a quick pinch, as lovesick Goblins are wont to do.

Orphan Brian aka Vlad

SOLD

Brian (he insists on being called Vlad) was cavorting amongst the gravestones one Twilight, when he was bitten by a Fruit Bat.

He now refuses to consume anything other than Blood Oranges...his fondest Wish is to have a family with a large Orchard.

The Social Workers here at Mrs. BO are confident Brian, errm, Vlad (he's listening, so we'll humor him) is ready for adoption, and will be the perfect child for you!

Orphan Edythe

SOLD

Edythe has been with us here at Mrs. Blathersby's since the day her parents were carried over a cliff into the Sea by suicidal lemmings...

Upon her arrival, Edythe was much given to tears and hysterics, but the Wretched Sisters administered liberal doses of Dr. P.W. Radam's Sulfuric Tonic, and dear Edythe has become the perfect example of "Children should be seen and not heard."

The social workers here at Mrs. BO are confident Edythe is ready for adoption, and will be the perfect child for you...
