Oh, Hello!

[marmaladesandwich]

I must say, it's awfully nice of to you, uh, 'pick me up', Mundane, but I really ought to be getting back to Windsor Gardens. I was out doing the shopping for Mrs Bird, and she's gets very worried if I'm not back at the right time. And then I have elevenses with Mr. Gruber, and I do so hate to miss that.

... Play me? Surely you mean play with me? I do enjoy games, but none of these sound like they take place in London, and London is my home now. With the Browns. What if Aunt Lucy came to visit and I wasn't there? She would be very worried, Mundane, and I wouldn't like to do that to her.

I suppose I can play a little while. These games do sound very exciting, and I would like to try my paw at some of them. Do you think I might meet another bear like me out there? I hope I have enough marmalade sandwiches to share if I do.

[Paddington Bear, everyone]

Comments

Why has it taken so long to pick up this precious little bear?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I didn't know bears liked marmalade so much.

[marmaladesandwich]

Oh, well, I'm a very rare type of bear, you see. But one marmalade sandwich contains all the vitamins and minerals a bear will need for a full day.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I'll buy that.

I mean, it's not every day you see a bear in a red hat and a blue coat. [She smiles.] They suit you though.

I'm Saft by the way. [She holds out her hand.] It's nice to meet you.

[marmaladesandwich]

[Paddington lifts his hat in greeting]

Paddington. It's very nice to meet you, as well. It's a real corker of a day, isn't it?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

A corker?

Well, from where my mun is it's very wet and cold. So I guess it would be. Uhm, Don't think I'm being rude or anything by asking this but...you did say you had somewhere to live right? I don't think there's many caves or trees here on Dear Mun.

[marmaladesandwich]

Oh, well, I live with the Browns in Windsor Gardens, but I don't think Mundane has quite worked out if there's a new home for me here yet...

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Oh, Well I hope you find somewhere, Paddington. You're too nice a bear to be wandering around on your own.

Though my mun's a little worried about you. There's alot of places here that are kind of dangerous. She'd hate for anything bad to happen.

[marmaladesandwich]

Oh, please tell your Mundane not to worry! I'm sure we'll find somewhere quite comfortable for me. A friend of Mundane's recommended a game, but I can't really remember what it was called...
