- MARY BOUGHT ME A HAT!
-
- Taa-daa! Tanais perks up as she proffers a hat he said he liked in
- his direction. It's red, and circular, with a gold braid and a swirly
- deep blue pattern on the top. There is no peak or rim, it's
- perfectly circular if you looked down on it. Worn like a skull cap,
- it perches rakishly from Tanais' head and two brown ears pop out from
- each side. The right ear is wiggling every now and then -- a sign of
- deep happiness.
-
- His tail is perked up -- it's a *perfect* Hat. With great
- satisfaction he notices it can be turned inside out so that the black
- lining looks like a black skull cap for those "monochrome" days, or
- when he's feeling colourful he can wear it as it was intended -- just
- like Too Ticky's in "Moominland Midwinter" -- one of Tanais'
- favourite books.
-
- Tanais begins a dance. He dances around the tables and chairs. He
- skips across the Dalek and over the bar. He smiles, he prances like a
- horse, he is joined by Kateri and falls over a wet patch of spilled
- beer laughing and giggling.
-
- "Oh my..." he giggled..." Oh *Goodness me* [gasp] a dance was what I
- needed all [pant] along". I guess [pant] if you want to get ahead,
- get a hat.
-
- This tired fox will see in 1993 a very happy creature indeed.
-
- Know yourself loved -- or at least cared for. Thank you my friend
- MerryTail. It's a fitting present.
-
- Tanais.
