'So is she planning to stay up there for the whole of Christmas?' asked Captain Bill.

'Oh no!' replied Norma. 'She just wanted to do it for a day or two.'

'And,' asked Captain Bill, '...and is that a haddock on a stick?'

'It's not a real one,' replied Norma.

'Right,' said Captain Bill.

'Anyway, I've asked her to turn on the lights so she'll have to come down for that.'

'Fine!' said Captain Bill. 'Actually I was going to suggest, you know, maybe this year, we might do things a bit differently.'

'Really?'

'Mmm,'

'You've still not bought any Christmas presents have you?'

'I've made a start!'

'I know,' said Norma, 'Horace showed me...I looked possessed.'

'Radiant!'



'Possessed!'



'Radiant!'



And so it went on.
