Chapter 15. Turnabout is Fair Play (Comfort, part 2)

Sleepy-maid! Weepy-maid! She’s afraid, weepy-maid!

Go away, you horrid thing!

Mouldy-Goldi, you’re not… but you are! …Goldi? Why are you crying?

I’m not crying, so go away!

But I was only teasing! I didn’t mean to…

O go! Leave! Don’t you have better things to do?

No. No, I don’t. Why are you crying? You are, plain as the nose on my face.

Not plain at all, then. (sniff)

Here’s my pocket-handkerchief… mostly clean…

Thanks. (sniff) I think.

Now then, is it… that you’re missing your Mum?

No. Yes.

And your Dad, and Ellie?

Yes… And they didn’t take me!
