The
continuing Adventures of Miss Ruffle |
 |
|
 |
|
27... Miss Ruffles was
whiling away the afternoon doing what she loved best. Reminiscing…she was
deep in thought and was enjoying reading her most treasured possession, her
mothers diary. |
|
28... It read like a fairy tale…how mother and
father were wed in 1900 and Miss Ruffle was just a twinkle in her fathers
button eye.
Lost in
thought, she realised that she had much to do and that the day was half way
gone and she had not achieved any of her chores. |
 |
|
 |
|
29... With that, her sweet pups, Dipsy and Loo Lah,
bounced on her knee and it was then that Miss Ruffle felt a pang of guilt..
she knew she had meant to do something and now she knew what that
“something” was. Dipsy had a nasty variety of Conjunctivitis and had very
puffy eyes, and Loo Lah, well she had been promising Loo Lah a trip to the
doggy optometrist for weeks…poor Loo Lah, what a terrible squint.. |
|
30...
As she was
petting the faithful friends, she heard a sound coming from outside. She
moved to the window and could hear a definite clip clop, clip clop…but NO…it
was not clip clop….it was Flip..flop…flip flop |

31...
and there before
her, galloping up the garden , was Raffles, astride a handsome white
charger…how romantic she sighed and went to the door to welcome him
back…where had he been?? What was he doing on that RABBIT??? |
|
32... Raffles came in to the cosy cottage and took a
seat next to his lady love. She spied something in his paw but being polite,
did not ask its contents.. Raffles cleared his throat, took a deep breath
and began…”.Miss Ruffle, we were parted for far too long. .we are meant to
be one, we must never lose each other again. I have lived many years, but
never felt anything like this before. You make my Button eyes pop, you make
my squeaker…well….squeak… You make my excelsior crunch. .you…..oh.. Miss
Ruffle, would you do me the great honour of agreeing to my Paw in
Marriage..?? Miss Ruffle was faint with excitement. She was a little bemused
of course, as this was what she would call a speedy romance. But she knew in
her tiny heart, that Raffles was “the one”.. that he was “her Beau”, he was
her Knight on White charger, her one true love. |
