'No doubt about it,' said Norma, 'it's sheep's wool.'
'So Annie was wrong!' mooed Bertha.
'Indeed,' replied Norma, 'although I must say I'm not sure that giant carnivorous woolly stoats actually exist.'
'I was seeing it as a long shot,' said Bertha.
'I'll break the news to her as gently as I can,' replied Norma.
'And we'll have to tell the others as well,' added Bertha, '...including mon brave Capitaine.'
'I'll break the news to him as gently as I can,' said Norma.
'That's a role I'd be happy to take on,' replied Bertha.
'And just how gently would you do it?' asked Norma.
Bertha smiled.
'That's what I thought,' said Norma.
'I think I just like watching him fall over,' replied Bertha.
But Norma insisted that she would tell Captain Bill...but she did let Bertha watch from a distance.
