Blythe-a-Day #24. The Closet Monster: Young Miss Havisham and The Little Fox

            Ava as young Miss Havisham, who, in Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" is an old woman who has never taken off her wedding dress or thrown away the wedding breakfast after she was stood up by her fiance, the gigolo Mr. Compeyson, on the day they were to be married.

In the 19th Century:

Miss Havisham spent hours getting ready to go to a party with her fiance, Mr. Compeyson.
"I must look perfect," she told herself. "I must never be anything less for my beloved."

As she fretted about whether she could attain the standard of perfection while she examined herself in the mirror, Miss Havisham noticed that one piece of her outfit was missing: the white muff with which she would warm her hands.

"Where can it be?" she wondered. Suddenly, she recalled the only possible culprit, "The Closet Monster," a little fox who she had named Jack after she mistook him for a puppy and brought him home for his wounded leg to heal.

Little Jack had earned the title of The Closet Monster after Miss Havisham had discovered him in her wardrobe, where he had ripped the hems out of many of her dresses. This misadventure was yet another example of Jack  showing that he would not be domesticated. Hence, Miss Havisham, after learning from her cousin Matthew of Jack's true identity--fox, not pup--set up a cart in the garden for Jack to sleep in should he want.

Determined to find her muff, Miss Havisham went outside where she immediately saw Little Jack, resting with her muff, as if it were his very own.

"Oh, dear," sighed Miss Havisham. "I should take it from you--if you will let me," she told the little fox.

But remembering his nipping her fingers on several occasions, Miss Havisham decided not to reach for the muff.

"I suppose it is now yours, Little Jack," she stated softly. "If I did not love you, I would be angry. Yet, because I do love you, I shall forgive you...everything."

A reasonable decision, it seemed...if only she did not have the same feelings for her untrustworthy fiance, who, unbeknownst to her, was also a beast--the most dangerous kind: human.
