Truly Scrumptious:
What's your name?
Jemimah:
I'm Jemimah.
Jeremy:
And I'm Jeremy.
Jemimah:
What's yours?
Truly Scrumptious:
Truly.
Jemimah:
That's a very pretty name.
Truly Scrumptious:
Now, where is your house?
Jeremy:
Oh, we don't live in a house.
Jemimah:
We live a castle. On top of a hill.
Truly Scrumptious:
[laughs] A castle? I didn't know there were any castles around here.
Jemimah:
Well, it isn't a castle exactly.
Jeremy:
That's what Daddy calls it. He says King Alfred used to live there hundreds of years ago.
Truly Scrumptious:
And does your Daddy know you aren't in school?
Jemimah:
Oh, he won't mind. He never does.
Jeremy:
Anyway, he's awful busy.
Truly Scrumptious:
Is he? Well, he'll have to find time to see me because I have a few things to say to him.
