...though the wistful melancholy had not yet released her entirely from its strangling silk...
Strangling silk. That's whistfull. It captures the beauty, in the silk, and the panic, in the strangling. Fabulous.
A little shopping, through a window or otherwise...
That's nice. A little turn of phrase that is so much more INTERESTING to read than, "A little window shopping would be nice." would hit the spot right now.
Piggy...liked the large chocolate brownies they served, and that was enough.
Simple. Yet profound. If she was with others, everything would have mattered. Here, by herself, all that matters is Brownies.
... into the sweet embrace of unyielding concrete.
I love this! Another cute, clever turn of phrase. Neat and nice!
Piggy meanwhile was trying to swallow her heart back down into its customary position.
I know that feeling...poor Piggy...
Fright shifted smoothly into irritation.
Shifted smoothly. Nice alliterative phrase. Fabulous.
Diction Diva strikes again.
Gonzo swayed for a second and she caught hold of him again.
*melts* Oh! Wait...wrong story...
"You are out of your mind," she told him flatly, moving to walk past him. Now she really needed chocolate.
This SOUNDS like Piggy!
Short sentence!!!
Did I ever mention that I love Miss Piggy?
“I’m not always with him.” I’m not with him now.
*dies* Oh Piggy...
With her mouthful, she was stymied in her efforts to toss off a quick ‘I’m fine,’ before the question could sink in somewhere deeper.
Are all the Muppets this caring and clever? - Oh! Yes, they are!
The little whatever he was who laughed in the face of extraordinary pain...flinched.
I'm flinching as I read that...poor Gonzo...
"Stop it, stop it," she hissed, almost horrified, before yanking him roughly across the table for an entirely unexpected hug.
EEEEEE! Friendship! It's what holds the Muppets together!
"Shut up, don't you dare make me cry in here. This is my brownie place. I will kill you."
I love this sentence. And it sounds SO Piggyish!
"It's pretty unlikely," Piggy agreed primly. "I can't imagine ever being desperate enough to give you huggies."
*giggles* *finds that reference hilarious*
SHORT SENTENCE!
Piggy managed to convey skepticism without moving a single muscle.
Yup. She CAN do that.
"And... haiku! Haiku for you! Say... that rhymes. How ‘bout that. Um…anyway! It was really good. Or... good...well, okay. It was okay. It was almost okay…. kinda... pointless, really. Yeah, pointless. Oh, I am so depressed." He let his head drop to the table.
GONZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"Oh, of course you don't. What does wanting have to do with anything, anyway?”
I love this...and I love the following spurt of words from Miss Piggy. They have SO much meaning!
Piggy abruptly thumped her elbows forcefully on the table and dropped her head into her hands in defiance of more than one rule of polite dining etiquette.
*giggles!!!*
"but... the wants...the wants aren't always past hope."
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUEEEE! SQUEEEEEE!!!!!
