Herschel: The SERVANTS have been busy. They both went out the other day really early. We didn’t mind because we had our breakfast early too. Then the THINKER came back without the MAID.

Jellicoe: He took the DOGS for a walk, Roxy first, then Gilbert. We were a bit worried in case he forgot to give us our elevenses. It’s usually the MAID who feeds us.

Herschel: We need not have worried. I don’t think he would have forgotten for long, not with Jellicoe yowling round him and nipping his arm.

Jellicoe: I was just reminding him! Anyway, he soon went out again. Some people just can’t sit still.

Herschel: We were pleased when he came back, because the MAID was with him, and she gave us our threeses. So, everything was back to normal.

Jellicoe: They put up a tree for us to play with. At least, we thought it was for us.

Herschel: Gilbert’s tail swiped the dangling ornaments and made them dance . . .

 Jellicoe: . . . so, of course, we had to tap them with our paws . . .

Herschel: . . . and before we knew it, the tree fell over!

Jellicoe: The angel at the top lost her head . . .

                             With her head tucked underneath her arm . . .

Herschel: . . . and it had to be glued back on.

Jellicoe: One or two of the baubles fell on the floor and the THINKER stepped on them . . .

Herschel: . . . but they’re not glass - we don't have those  ‘coz of little feet and paws.

Jellicoe: The MAID hadn’t been very happy with the tree anyway, because the lights had been put on last, not first, and the wires all showed up horribly . . .

Herschel: . . . so she had to take everything off and put it back properly . . .

Jellicoe:  . . . and that was all right, because the THINKER found some of the lost lights . . .

Herschel: . . . and now it looks much prettier . . .

Jellicoe: . . . until it falls over again!
