A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The crown had gone to Hallam's on a Tuesday, wrapped in a tea towel, and Mags Yeoland had watched her father come home with eleven shillings and a cough.

She worked at the bench after the supper things were cleared, a lamp pulled close and a sheet of tin pinned flat. She scratched the band with a steel point, then the arches, each one narrower than the last until they met above a small ball no bigger than a rivet head. The fleurs she made the size of barley grains. When the outline was true she took a dull file to the hollows, light and patient, so the shadow would sit in the metal the way it had sat in the old crown, as if the thing had been worn for a hundred years and kept the dark in its creases.

On the Saturday the walk went past the Corn Exchange with the band playing a half beat slow. The mayor's wife carried the tin crown on a velvet cushion, said nothing for three bars, then laughed out loud, and then did not laugh at all. Hallam came out of his shop with his spectacles pushed up, looked at the crown for a long time, and asked who had drawn the arches. Mags said nothing. He went back inside and returned with the tea towel, and inside it was the real crown, polished bright, and a pawn ticket he tore in half and gave to her father. "Keep the metal," he said. "The girl's is the one that's been worn."
