Nora: Hey, Storyteller, I can't find the book I was reading.
Storyteller: You mean State of Denial? Erin stole it back while you were in the bathroom.
Nora: Whaa? But I haven't finished it yet!
MN: Too bad. The money that paid for it came from my wallet, and I've got a cold, so I need something to read.
Nora: Oh, no, not you too.
MN: Yeah, courtesy of my hacking and coughing buddies at the newspaper. They can recite the five Ws but they can't cover their mouths when they sneeze.
Storyteller: Tsk. I can see Boober going ballistic over that. Go put your feet up, Newsgirl.
MN: (sneeze, sniffle) With pleasure. (parks on sofa with book) Come on, Nora, you've got five mystery novels you haven't even touched yet.
Nora: (pouts) Oh, all right. (goes to grab a book) How's your new quilt coming, Storyteller?
Storyteller: Oh, fine enough, fine enough. This one depicts the legend of the Ring of the Radish.
