[Morticia was out with her family, though currently she had wandered alone. A parasol with her, for when things were too bright, and she was a dark swan gliding among the more colorful and mundane attendees. The fair was charming, and she was polite to all. The commotion of the games drew her attention to the striking young man and the little girl. It was easy enough to see what had happened, just as the girl was taking off.]
Excuse me!
[She hadn't seemed to raise her voice, but it was still a voice all children know. The "mom" voice. Stopping the little girl from her sprint, as Morticia glided over, one hand with the parasol shading her and the other out to the side.]
Would you kindly tell me what is going on here?
[Addressed to all three of them, although the other mother was clearly looking warily at Morticia. The little girl was too, moving to hide behind her mother now.]
