"Untuk minum teh dia turun untuk melihat Misses Spink dan Forcible. Dia punya tiga biskuit pencernaan, segelas jeruk nipis, dan secangkir teh lemah. Limas itu sangat menarik. Tidak terasa seperti limau. Rasanya hijau terang dan samar-samar bahan kimia. Coraline sangat menyukainya. Dia berharap mereka memilikinya di rumah. "Bagaimana kabar ayah dan ibumu sayang?" tanya Miss Spink. "Hilang," kata Coraline. "Aku belum melihat mereka sejak kemarin. Aku sendirian. Kurasa aku mungkin sudah menjadi keluarga tunggal."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

For tea she went down to see Misses Spink and Forcible. She had three digestive biscuits, a glass of limeade, and a cup of weak tea. The limeade was very interesting. It didn't taste anything like limes. It tasted bright green and vaguely chemical. Coraline liked it enormously. She wished they had it at home. "How are your dear mother and father?" asked Miss Spink. "Missing," said Coraline. "I haven't seen either of them since yesterday. I'm on my own. I think I've probably become a single child family.
