    DIALOGUE 47

    A: So the boatman put the goat and the roses and the load of coal into the boat.

    B: I hope the goat won’t eat the roses. Goats eat most things, you know, Miss Jones.

    A: They told the boatman so but oh no, the goat and the roses both had to go in the boat.

    B: Was it a rowing boat, Miss Jones? Was the boatman going to row?

    A: No, they told the boatman rowing would be too slow. So the postman sold him an old motor
    mower and he roped It to the boat. And so you see Toby, he had a motorboat.

    B: Did the boat go?

    A: It was a bit low with a goat and the coal and the roses and the boatman…

    B: and the postman and Rover I suppose.

    A: Oh no there was no room for the postman and Rover. They went home by road. And then it
    began to snow…
    DIALOGUE 48

    A: Brownie if you vow not to make a sound, I’ll show you an owl that I found.

    B: An owl? You’ve found an owl?

    A: Don’t shout so loud! We don’t want a crowd to gather round the house. Tie that hound up
    outside the cowshed. He’s so bouncy and he’s bound to growl.

    B: There, I’ve wound his lead round the plough. No amount of bouncing will get him out now.

    A: Now, not a sound. It’s down by the fountain where the cows browse.

    B: Wow Howard. It’s a brown mountain owl. It’s worth about a thousand pounds down in the
    town.

    A: No doubt but my proud owl is homeward bound, south to the brown Mouse Mountains.

    DIALOGUE 49

    A: I say, boy, what’s all that frightful noise?

    B: It’s the boilermakers from Tyneside. They’re on strike. I’m on my way to join them.

    A: You a boilermaker?

    B: Me? No, I slave for United Alloys but I’ll add my voice to anyone fighting for his rights.

    A: Wait, why are they striking this time?

    B: A rise in wages mainly. And overtime for nights.

    A: Why don’t they use their brains? A rise in pay means rising prices and greater inflation. What’s
    the point? Who gains?

    B: That’s blackmail mate! There’s high unemployment in Tyneside and the employers exploit the
    situation. They pay a highly trained boilermaker starvation wages. It’s a disgrace!

    A: What’s your name?

    B: James Doyle. I come from a line of fighters. My Aunt Jane chained herself to the railings in
    nineteen eight. She was quite famous.

    A: I shall be highly annoyed if you tie yourself to mine.


    DIALOGUE 50

    A: Oh Pierce, it’s eerie in here. There’s a sort of mysterious atmosphere; as if nobody’s been here
    years!

    B: That’s queer. Look Aaron over there. There’s a weird light like hundreds of pairs of eyes staring.
    I think we are in some animal’s lair.

    A: Where?

    B: There! They’re coming nearer! My God Aaron, they’re giant bats!

    A: Oh no, I can feel them in my hair! They’re tearing my beard! I can’t bear it Pierce!

    B: What if they’re vampires? They’re everywhere. Let’s get out of here! We could try and climb
    higher.

    A: No fear, I’m not going anywhere! I’m staying here.

    B: Aaron, there’s a kind of iron staircase over here. Only take care. There’s a sheer drop.

    A: God, I’m weary. We must have been climbing these stairs for hours!

    B: Cheer up Aaron. I can see a square of lights and smell fresh air and flowers. We’re nearly there.
