Paddington, Scout and the Easter Egg Hunt 1.
PADDY: *Reading.* "As she ran, one of Cinderella's dainty glass slippers slipped off her foot and remained on a step of the place stairs." *Pauses. "Look Scout. See how quickly Cinderella is running!"
SCOUT: "What Paddy?"
PADDY: "Scout! I'm disappointed. I thought you wanted a story and yet you haven't been listening!"
SCOUT: "Oh I'm sorry Paddy, but I was distracted by the bunnies."
PADDY: "Bunnies? There are no rabbits in Cinderella. What rabbits, Scout?"
DAISY-MAUD: "Those bunnies, Paddy!" *Points paw to three small rabbits carrying Easter Eggs.*
ROSIE: "I see them too, Paddy! Do you Jago?"
JAGO: "I do, Rosie."
BOGART: "Look Orson! The bunnies are carrying Easter eggs!"
ORSON: "Why so they are, Bogart! Very well observed!"
PADDY: "Oh!" *Gasps.* "Do you know who they are, everybear?" *Trembles with excitement.*
SCOUT: "I think so Paddy." *Trembles with excitement.* "Are they Easter Bunnies?"
PADDY: "They are, Scout! That means it's Easter, and you know what that means, don't you everybear?"
SCOUT, ROSIE, JAGO, DAISY-MAUD, BOGART and ORSON: "We do, Paddy!" *Excited,* "It means an Easter Egg hunt!"
PADDY: "It does, everybear! Let's go fetch everybear else!"
SCOUT: "And fox and mouse and duck!"
PADDY: "Hullo everyone! On behalf of Scout, Cousin Paddington, Bogart, Jago, Daisy-Maud, Rosie, Cornelia, Orson, Danny Boy, Algie, Flock, Sapphire, Pearl, Prince Maurice, Freddy, Duckie, Daddy and myself I would like to wish all of our Flickr friends and followers a very happy Easter! May the day be filled with lots of fun, laughter and a chocolate Easter egg... or two! We are sending you all lots of special Easter big little bear hugs and snuffly kisses!"
Paddy has managed to share my thoughts most eloquently. A very happy Easter to you all!
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Rosie is Scout's cousin, because like Scout, she is a free trade knitted bear from Africa. She was made in Kenya by one of the Kenana Knitters, Martha Wanjira. She is made from home spun and dyed wool. She was a gift to me from two very dear friends, including the one who gave Scout to Paddy.
Bogart has travelled all the way from Georgia, via Alabama as a gift to me from a friend. He has lovely Southern manners and seems to be a fun and gentle soul with an inquisitive nature.
Jago was a gift from a dear friend in England. He is made of English mohair with suede paw pads and glass eyes. He is a gentle bear, kind and patient who carries an air of calm about him. He is already fitting in with everyone else very nicely.
Daisy Maud is Jago's little sister and was made by the same friend in England who made him. She is made of German mohair with floral fabric cotton paw pads that match her pretty sunhat, and glass eyes. A sweet and loving little girl bear, she is happy to be reunited with her big brother, Jago, and enjoys being spoiled by her new Daddy.
Orson, named after the little bear constellation, was made by the same friend who made Jago and Daisy-Maud. He comes ready dressed in 'trousers' made of German mohair accessorised with embroidered braces. His paws are ultra suede and his eyes are glass. He is described as being a little bit serious minded but very friendly. He's fine once he gets to know you.
