Here they are folks, most of them listed. They tell me they are happy to be here with all their creators but are willing to visit "another place" if so required. Give them a big welcome.
Mrs Borage, Craddock, Lady Miasma Fandemere, Lord Rupert Fandemere, Pietro the Pimp, the camels Delilah and Ciggy, Lorenzo di Viagra, Sidney Verdivia, Evadne Snout, Sadie the Slim,Crumble, Eugene , Ariadne and the Lesbian Marsupials, Eugene and El Forlether, Vadontya Bukeroff, Diogenes McGreoow and Tebbitt, the reindeer Esme and the snakes Bite and Squash.
Meanwhile, in a darkened room, Evadne Snout sobbed hopelessly into a dishcloth.`Oh I cannot bear it. Pilchard, Pilchard come to me. We cannot be parted, we
will not be parted! I will throw myself under the nearest trolleybus rather than be a minute without your presence`.
There was a clattering at the window and the heavy velvet curtain were ripped from their rings in a flurry of feathers and muttered curses.
`Gordon Duck! Still haven`t got me landings right. Now, wots all the wailing about? You and Pilchard weren`t an item before. Were you?`. Esmerelda looked suspiciously at Evadne.
Evadne sniffed pathetically. `Well, no. But I have longed for....`.
`That`s enough of that talk. Pull yourself together. After all that lot what we all went through together, I expect more of you, girl`.
Evadne straightened her shoulders and suppressed a sniff. `And how
exactly did you get here, might I ask?`she said in a superior manner.
`Hitched a ride with Plato and Socrates, dinnen I? We slipped under the wire. Now, got any duckweed?`.
Esmerelda settled herself into an armchair with a contented sigh.
