Me: Look at those little faces. Have you ever seen anything more adorable?
Nell: David does not have a little face.
Me: Look at his gorgeous nose. Darling Big Brave Beautiful Boy. You just want to kiss it.
Nell: I most certainly do not.
Me: And Poppy posing like a film star with her huge eyes.
Nell: You could have taken a more flattering photo of Harriet.
Me: I think she looks sweet.
Nell: She looks guilty.
Me: I suppose she might be hiding something. She and Sally have been zooming a lot recently.
Nell: Yes, I noticed that too.
Me: I’m going to send those photos to John, Sally and Jim. They’ll love them.
Nell: I’m sure they will. Miss Maple might like one of Poppy too. She’s leaving tomorrow.
Me: Oh no. We’ll miss her.
Nell: She says she’s staying in the area so we might see her again.
Me: That’s good.
Nell: Did you know Sally and Miss Maple have worked together in the past?
Me: Really?
Nell: Yes, they like to call on each other for the more difficult cases.
Me: Is Sally involved in the latest one?
Nell: Harriet won’t say but she gave me a Knowing Look so I think she might be.
Me: I wonder if there is anything I can do to help with the case.
Nell: Absolutely not.
Me: But the weather is cold enough for my all encasing hat. So I can easily go undercover.
Nell: May I remind you that you are still in recovery after your operation?
Me: I forgot.
Nell: And apart from that you are simply not cut out to be a spy.
Me: Why not?
Nell: You cannot keep a secret.
Me: I can.
Nell: You share our conversations every day.
Me: Oh yes. Sorry.
