Day 16 - poppet picspamaganza!
Happy December 16!
Jack and Stephen Go Christmas Shopping
Diana: Goodbye, General Wellesley. So lovely to have met you.
Jack: Such a delicious dinner. Now home?
Sophie: Not just yet, Jack. Can you take the children's presents and things? Diana and I want to go get our hair did.
Jack: Of course, my dear! (Stephen, now's the chance to go do some shopping on our ownsies! Get things for the girls!)
Stephen: Hm?
Diana: We'll see you back here in a couple of hours!
rifleman: What every woman wants for Christmas is... A RIFLE!
woman: He's right! It's true.
Jack: It's a fine weapon, but... no.
gentleman: What lady does not want a grande pianoforte?
Jack: True, but... we already have one.
Stephen: Jack, we only have a couple of hours. Perhaps we should split up. We will cover more ground if we go each on our own.
Jack: Good idea, Stephen. (And then I can find a present for you!)
man: Good afternoon, sir. May I help you?
Jack: Yes, I'm looking for a gift for my friend...
Jack: He's a rather short friend. Much like yourself. I'm wondering if you have any suggestions.
man: Well, sir, there's nothing anyone likes so much as a car!
Jack: A what?
man: A car! An automobile!
man: She's a real beauty, ain't she? This here is a 1937 Jaguar SS 100.
Jack: Jaguar, eh? I do believe I've heard Stephen mention jaguars before... But what do you have in the way of other animals?
man: If it's animals you're after, you can't do better than a beautiful horse like this. You just tell me what I need to do to get you riding home on this here horse today!
Jack: Oh, he is a beauty... How do you do, my fine fellow! But for Stephen? I just don't know. Have you got anything more... philosophical and strange?
man: Philosophical and strange, eh? You mean exotic? Well, you might like to take a look at what I've got in here...
Jack: *gasp* Yes! That's perfect.
Meanwhile...
Stephen: Excuse me, miss. I'm looking for a present for my wife.
lady: Wonderful! Does she like reading and crafting?
Stephen: Reading, yes, but crafting? Not that I know of. At least, not particularly. Christmas Doughcrafts? I do not know what that means.
lady: Well these are some of our most popular crafting titles this season.
Stephen: Flower Drying with a Microwave? What is a microwave, pray? Perhaps a book is not the best choice.
lady: Does she like to sew? Maybe she'd like a new sewing machine.
Stephen: A sewing... machine?
lady: Mind the fingers there, sir.
Stephen: Perhaps something a little less... domestic. Something more personal, less... crafty.
lady: Then maybe the craft department's not the best place to look.
lady: Perhaps here in the jewelry department...
Stephen: Oh yes, these are very fine! I shall have to tell Jack about this shop. Speaking of which, I should like to buy something for another friend, perhaps something of a nautical nature.
Stephen: Oh, no, I beg your pardon, something for a naval gentleman. A gentleman who likes... music.
lady: Music? Maybe he'd like a gramophone!
Stephen: A... gramophone? Is it like a speaking trumpet? I do not think a gramophone would suit him.
lady: What else does he like? Knick-knacks? Bric-a-brac? Telephones? Horses?
Stephen: He does like horses... You've given me an idea.
Christmas day!
The ladies were well pleased with their new jewelry...
Stephen was delighted by his pair of aardvarks...
And Jack was surprised and thrilled with his new horse!
They couldn't have asked for a lovelier Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you all from the poppets and me!
