'So, I told 'im all about the brave Capitaine Bile and 'e said you sounded perfect for the role.'
'Erm?' Captain Bill replied.
'After all,' Camille continued, 'who could be better at playing an 'ero than a real life one?'
'Well,' Captain Bill began.
'And ma little students are sooooo pleased!'
'Right,' Captain Bill said.
'Jean Claude 'as already written 'ome to tell 'is parents.'
'Really????' Captain Bill asked.
'Indeed!' Camille mooed, ''e included it at the bottom of a letter I got 'im to write asking 'is parents to send more money.'
'Right,' Captain Bill said.
''e as told them that many actors would be afraid of doing such dangerous stunts but not the famous Capitaine Bile.'
'STUNTS!!!' Captain Bill exclaimed.
'The film man assured me that all 'ealth and safety precautions would be taken but I said you could not be bothered with such trifles.'
'Normally,' Captain Bill replied, 'normally, but I've got a slightly sprained horn and my doctor did suggest that it would be better for me....'
'Ha!' Camille interrupted, 'I just knew you would 'ave your little joke! It is a joke, isn't it?'
But before Captain Bill could answer there was the rumble of desperate hooves stampeding toward them from a great distance. They grew louder and louder until Annie appeared, crashing through a hedge and skidding head over hooves to a stop just before them.
'Did someone mention trifle?' she asked.
