Steve Thomson:
[coming across Lolly bathing in a spring naked]
You want me to come in?
[she nods]
Steve Thomson:
[undressing]
Oh, what the hell? Sulis, ain't that some kind of goddess?
Lolly:
How did you know that?
Steve Thomson:
I saw her on the front of Lachlan's vehicle. She's cute.
Lolly:
I'm glad you approved of her. I posed for the wee statue. It was a great honor. This is Sulis's sacred spring.
Steve Thomson:
[wading into the water]
Wow, Sulis. You gotta be kidding me about this. This is just some warm water, right?
Lolly:
You believe a certain virgin had a baby, don't you? Why can't you believe, like I do, that this water has a holy power?
Steve Thomson:
I believe whatever's written in the Bible, Lolly. That's holy writ.
Lolly:
Come on, Steve. It'll make you feel out of this world. Are you thinking about Beth? I can let you into a secret. Lachlan wants her to be the May Queen. I think he might like you to be the Laddie. Would you go for that?
Steve Thomson:
What's the Laddie?
Lolly:
The Laddie? You've not heard tell of the Laddie? He is the brightest and best, the handsomest, the kindest, the goodest, perhaps the best rider. I have known him to be the best lover.
