'Not quite,' said Norma.



'Now?' asked Annie.

'Nearly,' said Norma.

'Now?' asked Annie.

And Norma was just about to reply when Queen Phoebe got to her feet and spoke.

'Right, are we all 'ere?' she asked.

And everyone who was there said they were.

'Jolly good!' said Queen Phoebe with a smile. 'Now we are 'ere so my hubbie, King Otto, this is 'im, aint he lovely, retorical question...so my hubbie can open up the KING OTTO, just needed to emphasis that point, Grand Christmas Handmade Don't Forget To Leave Him A Prezzie Type Fair.

'Now?' asked Annie.

'Now!' said Norma.
