Usurped!

Maud: Outrage! Who are these imposters?

aprecious: Calm down Maud! Say hello to your cousins.

Maud: How can these spotty dogs be my cousins? What's wrong with them? Are they infectious? I mean, I don't want to catch anything!

aprecious: From left to right: Febe, Flick, Fizzle, and the gorgeous Freckle...

Maud: Gorgeous? What do you mean gorgeous? I hope you're not getting any funny ideas...

aprecious Of course not. They're bonny but there's only one dog for me.

Maud: Me?

aprecious: What do you think?

Maud: That's good.

Pause

Maud: I'll reconsider returning your Christmas present then. Probably.

I have been to my sister's house in Hull. She has a lot of dogs!
