'Piglet?'
'Yes, Pooh.'
'Is it Kavenarr or
Kavenaww?'
'I rather think it's
Shrowsbury.'
'Ah. So not Sconn.'
'Oh no. Though possibly Soulihull.'
'Or Lemster?'
'On high days and
holidays, I should think.'
'But not Maudlin.'
'As in College? Oh,
no.'
'I've always
wondered what Maudlin College is.'
'A slightly more
stoical Heartbreak Hotel, Owl says.'
'Oh, I see. Piglet?'
'Pooh?'
'How exactly do you
pronounce Cholmodeleybelvoirfeatherstonhaugh?'
'Char.'
'Gosh. Needs an extra-long cheque book, though.'
'Oh, they never
carry anything like money, Pooh.'
'Well…extra case for
the syllables.'
'Or luggage.'
'So how do they
manage?'
'Owl says they just
call out, "You there, zero-hours
giggy chappie, haul these, will you?"'
'Gosh. It's a wonderful world, Piglet.'
'Red roses too.'
