Spying Tonight

Me: Guess what?

Nell: I don’t do Guessing.

Me: Harriet is taking me spying tonight.

Nell: I beg your pardon?

Me: Harriet says I can join her on a mission.

Nell: I don’t believe you.

Me: It’s true.

Nell: You’re a terrible spy.

Me: That’s a little unkind.

Nell: There’s more to this than you’re telling me.

Me: Fine. The spying might be going on from my bedroom window.

Nell: The bedroom where you sleep?

Me: Yes.

Nell: Where you most probably will be asleep as it’s nighttime?

Me: I’m going to try and stay awake.

Nell: I presume Harriet told you that you could spy from your bed?

Me: Yes. She said I can even lie down.

Nell: And all the lights will be out?

Me: Of course. Although we may have a few candles.

Nell: I’m guessing the spying is on Lady Anwen at the bus stop?

Me: You said you didn’t do Guessing.

Nell: I’m making an exception,

Me: You’re right. We’ve got a special camera which is going to get us a proper photo of Lady Anwen’s nasty side.

Nell: What do you mean?

Me: Harriet says Sally thinks Lady Anwen has a dangerously nasty side at night.

Nell: She has a nasty side in the day.

Me: This one is really scary.

Nell: You don’t like scary.

Me: That’s why I’m doing the spying from my bed.

Nell: Under the covers?

Me: Yes.

Nell: With David lying next to you?

Me: Yes, and Harriet with the camera at the window.

Nell: You’re already feeling a little scared, aren’t you?

Me: I don’t like the idea of an even nastier Lady Anwen.

Nell: Everything will be fine. Harriet has it all under control and you can cuddle David. He’ll be feeling scared, too.

Me: Yes. Sorry.
