'No...no, she's nodded off again.'
'Not to worry,' Flossie replied. 'It was a boost to morale to have her awake, even if it wasn't for long.'
'I might ask Harriet to get her aboard the Mint Sauce,' Lefty bleated.
'Good idea,' Flossie agreed.
And so, leaving Lefty's mum to rest, they made their way back onto the set.
'Right,' Flossie began, 'scene...whatever...think of a number. Royal champion defeated, giant squid triumphant...is he here by the way?'
'He lost a tentacle,' Lefty explained.
'So he did!' Flossie bleated.
'He's having it put back on. Shouldn't be long.'
'Fine! Right, where was I? Ah, yes, giant squid triumphant and so...finally...dramatic action time arrives!'
'Whoopee do!' Queen Phoebe yawned.
'Apologies for the delay,' Flossie replied. 'Tis one of those things when filming.'
'Well, that's all very well for you,' Queen Phoebe said, 'but One is supposed to be running a kingdom. By the time One's finished being a star there could be peasants everywhere!'
'We'll help you round them up,' Flossie replied. 'We have experience in such matters. Anyway, dramatic action etcetera, etcetera. Your majesty, fearing for her kingdom, strikes a pose and says....and says?'
Lefty handed Flossie a piece of paper.
'TWO HUNDRED CREAM TEAS!!!!!!!!' Flossie screamed.
'Sorry,' Lefty bleated, 'wrong piece of paper.'
