Me: Look at those two. Always together. Bless them.
Nell: Has Harriet lost something?
Me: I think she was just enjoying a Sniffari.
Nell: Sniffaris are casual. This looks intense.
Me: There are a lot of deer around at the moment. Maybe she caught their scent?
Nell: Could be.
Me: Or squirrels? Kev says he saw a whole group of them in a tree.
Nell: Was Harriet wearing a hat?
Me: No.
Nell: Were you?
Me: No. The sky was grey and it was rainy.
Nell: You should still wear a hat.
Me: I will next time.
Nell: What about jewellery?
Me: I’m not going to wear jewellery on a walk.
Nell: I’m talking about Harriet.
Me: Harriet’s not like you. She doesn’t like tiaras and pearls.
Nell: Are you sure she wasn’t wearing a necklace?
Me: I don’t think so. Just her usual collar. Why all these questions?
Nell: I feel like something’s been lost.
Me: We lost Dave’s favourite toy but we found it as soon as we got him another.
Nell: Where?
Me: He’d forgotten it behind the garden box.
Nell: Did Harriet have a ball?
Me: I don’t think so. She doesn’t usually take one on this walk.
Nell: Well, something’s been lost and you need to know what it is.
Me: Do you remember when I lost my mother’s eternity ring?
Nell: Yes, I do. You were very upset.
Me: Kev got me a metal detector and we found it in the garden.
Nell: Where are Henry and Horst?
Me: I don’t know.
Nell: Find out right now. Something is wrong.
Me: Calm down. They’re probably on Dave’s hat.
Nell: You said nobody was wearing a hat.
Me: He put it on when we got home.
Nell: Hats are for outside not inside.
Me: Sorry.
