FINALLY !

Someone's turned up to show Mary where she can sleep and put all her things.


Ashley, Agnes and Ginny welcome their new sister to the village.






"Did you have far to travel? " asks Ashley
"Yes quite a way " smiles Mary " I stopped at Mrs Shelly's for a while and she corrected my eyes which were giving me some trouble!"
"Oh dear !" exclaims Agnes " I hope they are fine now? "

"Yes thank you " Mary smiles " all sorted "


Turning to Ashley Mary confides " I met two boys when I arrived  very strange ! I asked them to go and find someone and that was hours ago.. feels like weeks in truth! and no one came !"
Sighing Ashley rolls her eyes  " That can only be Toby and Zac ! They have the attention span of a flea! They are in the lounge watching a film, I passed the door on my way here ! Zac was telling Toby to pay attention as Mr Banks was in big trouble!"


"they are very young " agrees Agnes " you cannot trust them to do anything, always best to either do it yourself or go check it's been done!"
"shall we show you round? " asks Ginny quietly from beside Agnes
" That would be lovely " says Mary
"We can help carry your luggage  " offers Agnes
"No need " Mary starts across the room " I only have the one bag "


"Just one bag? " says Agnes amazed, knowing she'd need at least four just for her clothes never mind anything else!
"Yes " says Mary picking up her carpetbag " I find I can get everything into my carpetbag it's very roomy!"
Ginny studies Mary's carpetbag.. there's something about it that seems familiar ? but she cannot quite place it !

Meanwhile Agnes is excitedly trying to get Ashley to realise what all her looking and nodding towards Mary's bag is all about! But Ashley's just looking at her as if she's gone nuts!


Giving up on Ashley , Agnes turns to Mary " have you had your BAG long? "
"Yes quite a while, my Aunt gave it to me when I was born, it's a family tradition "
"Your AUNT " Agnes nods


"Yes my aunt Mary, I'm named after her "


Ginny's still puzzling over where she's seen a carpet bag before!
Mary continues " My aunt Mary is a leading children's specialist at Great Ormond Street Hospital, when she's not helping people out"


" That's lovely!" says Ashley smiling " come with me we'll get you settled and then you can tell us all bout where you have been and your family "
Mary follows Ashley from the room, with Agnes and Ginny straggling behind.


"Wait ! " whispers Agnes to Ginny as she goes to follow the others " Wait for a minute I have something to tell you !"

So Ginny stops and lets Ashley and Mary leave the room and walk away along the passage chatting.
" Why are you so excited? " ask ginny once they are out of hear shot.


"WHOO HOO !" squeals Agnes throwing her arms up and dancing about " You KNOW who she is! don't you !"
Ginny looks nonplussed " Yes she's Mary our new No navel sister "
"YES !" yells Agnes then realising what Ginny's actually said  she sighs " She's a Poppins ! A P O P P I N S ! " and looks at Ginny expectantly

"Oh ! " says Ginny calmly " I knew I'd seen that carpet bag before "



Deflated Agnes drops her hands " Is that all you can say! you'd seen her carpet bag before!"
" Well not actually that one " concedes Ginny " but one very like it , her aunt Mary's "
Agnes cannot believe her ears! Ginny's not a bit impressed that they have a direct relation of THE Mary Poppins! in their house !


Giving up on Ginny getting excited about it  she says " Come on I need to go hear what she's telling Ashley , then find the others and spill the beans!"
Ginny starts towards the door " Why are you going to spill beans? "
Agnes sighs sometimes she wonders just what planet Ginny came from ! She's way to calm for a child!

  1. Way to go, Mr Mossy - of course Mine is a great name for a horse - think I'll get one and call it that too, if you don't mind?

    Well, those girls really do seem to have a mix of personalitites and ways of accepting news. Ginny is a very cool young lady!
