40 Miss Ruffle and Raffle were delighted,
they had finally fixed a date with plenty of time to organise the wedding of
the century. Miss Ruffle had left Raffle to inform the Telegraph about time,
date and venue. She flicked through the pages until......OH NO!! "Raffles,
it says May 14th 2005....it was supposed to be
2006 ! Raffles looked as always , unphased. Not to
worry Miss Ruffle, that gives you plenty of time.. and off he ran. |
|
41. Miss Ruffle was disillusioned, she knew she
could never organise this whole wedding ALONE.. in two weeks, what was she
to do. Waffle her supportive friend told her that sometimes things were just
meant to be and that she would help her, along with the other girls, to
organise her perfect day. Miss Ruffle started with the Hymn book, what was
she to choose, she asked Waffle for help. Well said Waffle, I had "Three
blind Mice" when I walked in and "Humpty Dumpty" on the way
out.....what do you think??"..Ruffle kept turning the pages pretending not
to hear.. this was hopeless she thought. |

42. Miss Ruffle cuddled Kitty to comfort herself,
she was so worried, but managed to find three perfect hymns for the service
and Kitty offered to hand out the confetti to the guests, she said that
"shredded mice" , were very eco friendly and there was never any left at the
end...so the Vicar would not mind AT ALL...What was Ruffle to do...no-one
knew the picture she had in her mind of this beautiful Princess for the day
Wedding she had in her little mind, would it ever be ready in time... |
|
43... Waffle Miss Lancaster and Ruffle took to the
Spring sunshine to while away a few carefree hours. They took the books Miss
Ruffle had been saving for so many years ( in the hope of one day meeting
her Prince Charming) , into the garden to look for dresses. Girls love to
shop for dresses. What would it be? A floaty number, a straight elegant
shift, A veil, no veil? fresh flowers, silk...white, cream..??? Ahhh...that
was it.. that was the one...Miss Ruffle quickly covered the page so no-one
could see, after all it was very very bad luck! |

44... The dresses organised, Ruffle and her friends
decided Flowers were next on the list. The colour.. what colour would they
be? Ruffle said "Simple, pure and simple, that's what I want". The florist
delivered a selection of pretty flowers for the girls to look over. The
girls giggled with excitement, this was coming together nicely! |
|
45... They looked over the lovely Blooms, Ruffle
felt the red was a little loud for her type of wedding and would not go at
all with the dresses. The yellow was a little.....toooo yellow, the
blue...lovely, but blue always clashed with her pretty eyes and she did not
want bees at the wedding. |

46... DAISIES!! That was it...pure white daisies
with just a hint of yellow in the centre...fresh as a daisy! That was
how miss Ruffle would feel on her big day. Decision MADE! She placed her
order and that was the Hymns, the dress, the flowers, now she was sure there
was something else...?? Oh yes.. location location...that would have to wait
till tomorrow, she had something very important to do.. |
|
47... Apart from the location and
the question of a house....There was only one thing missing now, would she
have time to make the rest of her dream come true, the whole dream? There
was just time she was sure to put another advert in the Telegraph, maybe she
would get an answer, maybe someone would know where he was....
Miss Ruffle had not seen her Daddy for some 73
years...this was her golden opportunity to bring him back into her life..
for good. She picked up her pen and wrote:
Miss Ruffle born July 20th 1910 requests the
pleasure of the company of Sir Toddimus Truffle, at her wedding to Raffles
to take place on May 14th 2005. If anyone knows this fine handsome bear,
last known whereabouts - Portobello Market, London, selling buttons, used
postcards and chocolate pennies with a rather fusty sort of smell to them,
..(he called them "Toddy's Truffles" but we always knew he just stored them
in old Mushroom compost..,) traded under the name of Truffle Inc.
Roughly 14 inches tall, very fine nose,
antique gold hair, deep set black button eyes, wonderful expression. My
Daddy. If anyone
knows his whereabouts , please contact me at Blue Ribbon Bears...The next
morning, there it was in black and white.. the advert in" missing
bears"....would she get a response...would she ever find him in time..... |
