Marie is back at the office, telling Belle et Bonne all about the Tour Down Under.
Belle et Bonne: Tell me everything, Marie. Did you meet anyone?
Marie: I met Angel. He was interesting.....at first. He was a Gymnosopher, and he didn't wear any clothes.
Belle et Bonne: Ooh! Was he attractive?
Marie: Yes he was. At first he was very austere, and didn't eat or drink or wear anything, and he answered deep philosophical questions wisely. I actually thought I was in love with him.
Belle et Bonne: What went wrong?
Marie: I realised he always gave the same answer. And he became more and more competitive, wanting to win King of the Mountain and all that whatnot.
Belle et Bonne: Boring! And how was papa?
Marie: Oh, he was his usual self........
The VeloDrone pokes his head around the door.
Belle et Bonne: Oh papa! we were just talking about you.
The VeloDrone: Head butting is NOT cheating, you know!
Marie: Uncle! I never mentioned it!
Belle et Bonne: Papa! were you cheating?
The VeloDrone: Everyone was.
Marie: No they weren't.
Belle et Bonne: Did your Angel do it?
Marie: Yes, both the Gymnosophers did it.
The VeloDrone: We were using our noggins.
Belle et Bonne: How embarrassing. Well I don't suppose you can ever go back to Adelaide again.
The VeloDrone: On the contrary, we are all going back next month for the Fringe!
Le Bon David pops his head round the door.
Belle et Bonne: Uncle David! We're all going to the Adelaide Fringe!
Le Bon David: I heard.
The VeloDrone: What else did you hear?
Le Bon David: Oh nothing, my friend. But...... nothing.
