Nell: Go outside and help Harriet.
Me: Why?
Nell: She has a difficult decision to make and needs support.
Me: You’re the one who makes the decisions around here.
Nell: Yes, and I’ve decided to send you.
Me: I’m dreadful at making decisions, Nell. What about Knitwear Wolf? He’s ever so good at being wise.
Nell: Rupert is way too involved and so am I. As Head Judge I need to remain impartial.
Me: What about?
Nell: Tiaras. Do keep up.
Me: But you’re going to the Halloween Special tonight as Morticia Addams.
Nell: Well, thank you very much for letting everyone know my costume.
Me: Oops. So, who wants to wear a tiara?
Nell: Unfortunately Gladys and Myfanwy both want to wear the same one.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: Gladys has opted for straight hair and she says a tiara is just the thing, but when she chose one The Cat said Myfanwy wants to wear it.
Me: Who is Myfanwy going as?
Nell: Beauty.
Me: That means Knitwear Wolf is the Beast.
Nell: I know. A ridiculous idea. I can’t think of anyone less beast like than Rupert.
Me: I’m surprised he agreed.
Nell: He says it will be fun.
Me: Why is Harriet making the decision?
Nell: David refused and so did The Cat.
Me: I bet Poppy would be happy to oblige.
Nell: Yes. But would she make the right decision?
Me: What is the right decision?
Nell: Gladys, of course. How can you even ask?
Me: Maybe the right decision would be that nobody wears it and they just choose a different one.
Nell: See. That’s exactly why you are going outside to help Harriet.
Me: I am?
Nell: Yes. I knew I made the right decision asking you. Off you go.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
