Rumor Has It

 

BR: Hi, what's going on?
Pete Dakota: Frank told me that Luke told him that Marta heard that Barbara said that Holly Belle eavesdropped on Daddies John and Steve saying we're getting a new brother!
BR: That's great news!  Why do you look so worried?

Pete: Because...Stephen Orange!
BR: Oh, good point.  He's not going to like this.
Pete: What should we do?
BR: We'll get Nicholas Sahara to break the news to him.
He likes Nicholas the best.

Nicholas Sahara: Oh crumbs.  I'm not saying he's a Dismal Jimmy, 
but he's not the easiest to get on with, is he?
BR: Scot-Michael is looking for him now.  Best to rip off the band-aid quickly.

BR and Pete: 'Dismal Jimmy'??

Scot-Michael: Found him; he's in the kitchen having something to drink.
Tea, I think.
Nicholas: Ooh, a cuppa.  I could murder one now. >Sigh<
But!  All right, over the top with fixed bayonets...you come with.
Scot-Michael: Lay on, Macduff.

Nicholas: There you are, old boy.  >Ahem<  There's jolly interesting news--
Stephen Orange: Save it.  I've heard.

Nicholas: Now, it's not as bad as all that, eh?
Stephen Orange: Another brother!  I haven't gotten used to the last one yet.
And, frankly, that one smelled funny.
Scot-Michael: HEY!  I'm right here!

TO BE CONTINUED

lol I loved this. Them worrying who should tell Stephen Orange another brother's about to arrive and deciding Nicholas should be the one.
I especially loved Stephen O mentioning the funny smell of the last brother arriving and Scot Michel being right there ! very funny , looking forward to see just who turns up !

How exciting, a new brother! I wonder why Stephen Orange isn't looking forward to meeting him, maybe he is fun?

Steven O looks quite upset! He hasn't even had the heart to comb his hair! There aren't generally many secrets in Gregoropolis judging by the chain of people who told each other!! Can't wait to see who shows up on the doorstep!!
