'Nothing could ever replace Mabel. I wished I could hold her in my arms and tell her just how much she meant to me.'
Verity adores her cat Mabel, and is desperately sad when she dies. Remembering her recent school lessons about the Ancient Egyptians, Verity decides to mummify Mabel and keep her hidden.
