Me: Seeing Alice get off the train was a magical moment.
Nell: I can only imagine.
Me: There wasn’t any room for you because I was sitting in the back of the car.
Nell: I sit in the back of the car.
Me: I haven’t got a voice at the moment and Kev thought I should sit in the back with Alice so we could chat.
Nell: It’s fine. I understand and am happy that you are happy. On another note we have a problem with Harriet.
Me: Oh no. What’s happened?
Nell: Harriet is feeling Left Out.
Me: Oh dear. That’s not good.
Nell: It’s something we all have to go through and one that I, myself, experienced only yesterday when I was excluded from collecting Alice.
Me: You’re never going to let me forget that. Why is Harriet feeling Left Out?
Nell: David is now the Mayor of Kingsbridge with a beautiful silver chain.
Me: Only he isn’t.
Nell: Let me finish. Poppy is a pirate chef with fluffy hair and long boots.
Me: I knew about the hair but not the boots.
Nell: And I have been invited to the King’s Coronation.
Me: Of course you have. I forgot.
Nell: Only Harriet is simply herself.
Me: But herself is perfect.
Nell: That’s what I said.
Me: She is exactly what she should be.
Nell: I agree.
Me: She doesn’t need a silver chain, or fluffy hair, or long boots.
Nell: No. But she might need to go to the King’s Coronation.
Me: Might she?
Nell: Yes. So I’m making her my plus one.
Me: Does she know?
Nell: Not yet. I wanted to let you know first.
Me: Why?
Nell: Because I was going to take you with me. You and me. Always. Remember?
Me: Yes. Sorry.
