Elvira introduced Bell to Miss Moussie and Gustave...they both were charmed by this little creature!
-'You are ever so welcome in my new restaurant',croaked Gustave,'but I'm afraid it will take a while before we can celebrate the grand opening..I was thinking somewhere in Spring..'
-'SOMEWHERE IN SPRING'...Bell chimed...'SOMEWHERE IN SPRING...BUT THEN I WILL STARVE TO DEATH..!'
-'O dear',twittered Miss Moussie covering her ears...'take it easy dear Bell,not so loud,we hear you...'
-'O NO you DON'T'...chimed Bell even louder....'YOU HEAR ME BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND...WHAT HAS TO BECOME OF ME...IT"S LIKE WITH LOVE..'
-'What is'..croaked Gustave,'and please little one,explain it to us gently..'
-'I CAN'T BE GENTLY WHEN I AM HUNGRY....I NEEEEEEEED TO BE FED...JUST ONE TINY PLATE OF YOUR FABULOUS PASTA...PLEASE...?'
Meanwhile in the kitchen...
Very slowly the door of the Cuckoo Clock opened...a familiar Gnome's face appeared.. humming..."What's this loud and disturbing racket I hear...wait a minute...I recognise that racket...its Bell's racket...!' Immediately,with a big leap the Gnome jumped down from the clock and ran out of the kitchen...into the garden..

Oh Belle darlin'...if you could just hold on for a while, you are going to love the grub chez Gustave. He is a wonderful cook indeed, with Miss M. as his sous-chef. They are going to make you the best pesto pasta with slices of cheese.....just take an appetizer to hold you over. It will be worth the wait!!! BEAUTIFUL DRAWINGS! Love, Anita
Dear Dutchess
I so enoyed this story... and what a great illustration! Blessings, Penny
Oh Belle, you better get inside; the forecast says SNOW for Hilltop today...do as the others have wisely chosen to do: TAKE A NAP TODAY! Bisous
