Miss Spink is one of Coraline’s neighbors. She lives in another flat in Coraline’s house with Miss Forcible. The two women once “trod the boards” in the big city as famous actresses, but now they live in the country with one another and their passel of aging Highland terriers for company. Miss Spink and Miss Forcible are both skilled readers of tea leaves and highly superstitious women. When Miss Spink, after reading Coraline’s tea leaves one afternoon, believes Coraline to be in great danger, she gives Coraline a special stone with a hole through it to carry as a talisman.

The mist hung like blindness around the house. She walked slowly to the stairs up to her family’s flat, and then stopped and looked around.
In the mist, it was a ghost-world. In danger? thought Coraline to herself. It sounded exciting. It didn’t sound like a bad thing. Not really.
Coraline went back upstairs, her fist closed tightly around her new stone.
