‘Why would you ask that, dear?’ Morticia asked in a voice that was trying – and failing – to sound casual.

Wednesday shrugged. ‘I heard a strange noise in the fog earlier,’ she said. ‘I want to investigate.’

Wednesday knew she was pushing it. But she kept going. ‘But there must be something ,’ she said. ‘We never go anywhere . Who knows what untold horrors we’re missing out on!’

Morticia laid a hand on her daughter’s hand. ‘We have all the horror we need right here, my love,’ she said.

Wednesday scowled. ‘Uncle Fester gets to go wherever he wants,’ she said rebelliously.
