Prunella Packs it In/Transcript

Introduction

In her fantasy Prunella walks through a stone hall carrying a torch.

Prunella: Grizelda the Fearless knew that the magic chalice lay hidden nearby but first, she had to sneak past the dreaded three-headed dog of Doogenkirk. Luckily, it was asleep. So all Grizelda had to do was tiptoe by in utter silence.   Prunella sneaks past the dog and up a stairway. A small stone falls down.   Oops!    The stone hits a shield on a wall with a loud gong. The dog wakes up and chases Prunella up a spiral staircase. On the upper floor she bangs on a door.     Lady Pinfore, Lady Pinfore, let me in! I beseech thee!

The fantasy ends. Rubella opens the door holding a book. Prunella’s torch is a plunger and the three headed dog is a stuffed toy dog.

Rubella: What?!

Prunella: Your Ladyship, you must grant me shelter. The three-headed dog of Doogenkirk is right behind me!

Rubella: I can't play right now, I'm studying for a test.

Prunella: How could the threat of a mere test compare with being savaged by the...?

Rubella: It's not just a test, Pruny, it's the college exam, and it's much much scarier than any three-headed dog, so keep it down.   She closes the door. Prunella picks up the dog.

Prunella: Don't worry, boy. I still think you're terrifying.
