Rita Littlewood:
[about Norris's secret book]
The hero of his novel has got himself caught up in a menage-a-trois!
Emily Nugent:
Oh, really!
Rita Littlewood:
Emily, you do know what a menage-a-trois is?
Emily Nugent:
I most certainly do!
Rita Littlewood:
Oh. Well, the two women involved in this...
Emily Nugent:
Love triangle?
Rita Littlewood:
Yes. Are a mild-mannered church-goer called Emilia...
Emily Nugent:
[subtly shocked]
Oh.
Rita Littlewood:
...and a racy, Titian temptress called Reeba.
Emily Nugent:
[suspicious]
Oh.
Rita Littlewood:
[reading from the novel]
"Norris jumped out of the moped as Emilia and Reeba alighted the side-car... "
Emily Nugent:
That's a big side-car!
Rita Littlewood:
"... and hand in hand, the three of them ran barefoot through Chester Zoo. Atop the souvenir kiosk, Reeba belts out a quick rendition of "Paper Moon", whilst Emilia chose this moment - for some solemn prayer."
Emily Nugent:
It's not really a page-turner, is it?
Rita Littlewood:
You wait till you hear what happens in the meercat enclosure!
Emily Nugent:
I like meercats... I've a tea towel with some on - Norris knows that!
