The Keeper's eyes widened in surprise as she jumped a little bit. "Oh! Oh, yes yes. Excuse me." She vanished, leaving an empty seat in seconds. Moments later, she reappeared not too far from the table, about ten or fifteen feet in the air, hovering directly in front of a clock. It was large and completely wooden, giving off a slightly erie aura. However, the wood was painted white and looked somewhat rustic and homely. The Keeper tapped it once, and summoned a weeping girl to the room, just behind the Keeper. 

"Times up, dearie~" The Keeper descended until she stood before the girl on the floor. She took a hold of the girl's curly, blond locks. "What lovely hair," she murmured, looking upon the girl's tear-stained face. "Awww, how cute..."

The Keeper stood up straight. "You shall be my doll. You will sit... There!" She pointed to an open spot on the crowded shelves. Ignoring the girl's cries, the Keeper waved her hand, and a moment later, she held a blond doll in her hand, which teleported to the designated place. The seal had been removed. The contract annulled. All in a day's work. 

The Keeper of the Clock say down once more at the table with her sister, sipping her tea and smiling. "Now then, how are these new arrivals?"
