Nell: Harriet’s not happy.
Me: Dolly Parton died.
Nell: I guessed it was about Dolly from the cowboy hat.
Me: It is a bit of a clue.
Nell: I knew The Cat was a fan of Dolly’s but I didn’t know about Harriet.
Me: She loved her. We all did.
Nell: Well, tell Harriet she’s fine and having a wonderful time up here with her husband Carl.
Me: Did you see Dolly?
Nell: No, there were far too many Guardians waiting to greet her. But I expect I will one day.
Me: Dolly did so much for so many and she loved books.
Nell: She did.
Me: I’d be lost without books.
Nell: You and me both.
Me: Do you think I should go and check in on The Cat?
Nell: Yes, you definitely should. Take Dorothy with you.
Me: Dolly was greatly loved.
Nell: She still is. It’s rhinestones and cowboy boots everywhere up here. Poppy is in her element.
Me: I can’t imagine Poppy in rhinestones.
Nell: No. She’s gone for the boots and a cowboy hat.
Me: What about the blonde wig?
Nell: Don’t be silly. Mutley’s wearing that.
Me: Very funny. I’m guessing there’s a lot of country music going on up there.
Nell: There is. The music hasn’t stopped. What about you?
Me: Gladys and the llamas have been line dancing since first thing this morning and the Big Cat Vibe are playing at the Village Hall this afternoon.
Nell: I hope Gladys isn’t singing.
Me: No. Lady BaBa is making a guest appearance.
Nell: You’re going to be hearing a lot of ‘I will always love you’.
Me: I don’t mind and I will.
Nell: Will what?
Me: Always love you, Nell.
Nell: It’s mutual. Now go and comfort The Cat.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
