The
continuing Adventures of Miss Ruffle |
 |
|
 |
19... At last, he was home. Miss Ruffle quickly
cut the tape on the box and freed her sweetheart from his travel case.
Raffles was home, and home to stay! They sealed their meeting with an
affectionate ,yet somewhat reserved ( for fear of damaging his very charming
new nose) kiss and Raffles knew that all would be well. His bandaged arm
testament to his intrepid adventures at St Paws. |
|
20... Miss Ruffle was quick to assure him, that
her first aid badges, although somewhat faded and very very old, were
indeed proof that she had passed her "cubs" badge in basic first aid and
that in her new Florence Nightingale outfit, she would help in his swift
recuperation. Raffles was looking forward to the idea of Miss Ruffle in her
Nurses outfit...! |
 |
|
 |
21... She quickly introduced the "team" of helpers who would ensure Raffles
had a perfect stay in the Blue Ribbon House. But....in the corner of her
eye, Miss Ruffle wondered why it was that Miss Ellie seemed to be getting
just a little tiny, weeney, bit toooooo close?? And where indeed was
her left paw??? |
|
22... It soon became apparent, that Miss Ruffle
was not wrong about Miss Ellie, who was not quite the sweet innocent thing
she first appeared to be.., no sooner had Miss Ruffle changed into a lovely
evening number with a rather risky amount of ankle showing, than Miss Ellie
waltzed into the room..oh no...a girls worst nightmare....THE SAME
OUTFIT...THE SAME BAG!!!!!!! Ruffles sent Ellie back to her room to change.. |
 |
|
 |
23... They both went to change ..Ruffle chose a light
pretty dress with rosebuds print and delicate lace...very
understated... Not two minutes later Ellie appeared in EXACTLY THE SAME
OUTFIT AGAIN!. Ruffle was FURIOUS.... Miss Ellie pretended to be shocked,
upset, apologetic...but out from under her paw, she threw a knowing glance
at the other bears.. it would seem that there was a competition for the
affections of Miss Ruffle's sweetheart. This would never do. Miss
Ruffle....."don't fall for it" called the nice Bear Lady.. knowing that Miss
Ruffle never saw bad in anyone. |
|
24... Miss Ruffle kind nature won the day. Miss Ellie
realised that Ruffle was not about to give in on her one true love and that
she was actually a little tiny bit too tall for Raffles. He liked his girls
petite, neat and sweet...what could she do.
Apology accepted, Miss Ruffle assured Ellie that
there were no hard feelings , but just to be sure. instructed Little Molly
to be on her guard and wait outside Raffles room till morning. |

 |
25... Meanwhile, up stairs in the guest room,
Raffles was oblivious to the goings on between the ladies. If only he was
aware of how he had set the girls hearts throbbing. He just knew that this
looked a very comfortable bed, a nice book to read and that Miss Ruffle had
gone to so much trouble, even embroidering the year of their meeting on the
soft silk pillow case. But why, oh why..... was Molly waiting by his bed and
refusing to move.??? |
|
26... He pulled back the covers and having carefully
folded his suit, decided it was time for sleep...but ...OH>>>NOOOOO!!!!!! He
suddenly remembered that in the rush to get home to his sweetheart, he had
forgotten to pack and that he was still, much to his embarrassment
..wearing his horrible hospital pants!
Molly turned away...it was far to late in the
evening for a little "Bear Behind".......and this was beyond the call of
duty.. |
