“Yes, Ma’am.”
    “How do you feel, dear boy?”
    “I feel good, Ma’am.”
    “That is good, Ichs of the body. You are full of contentment, yes?”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “Describe to me what you see, my sweetness.”
    “I see this little pasture I’m standing in, Ma’am, only, it’s kind of a big pasture. There is lots of sunshine, to make all the little birdies happy. The birdies are making all the flowers happy. Gee, all the birds and flowers are making all the trees happy too. Golly, all the little forest animals have come out to wag their tails and wave to me in an inviting manner.”
    “This all sounds most pleasing, my tender boy. Tell me, am I pleasing to you as well, my sugar strudel?
    “Oh my Goodness, you are gorgeous, Miss Marrion, Ma’am! I thought you were a harmless, little old lady, but now I see that you are a beautiful young woman. You are taller than I thought. You have thick piles of silky blond hair cascading about your shoulders in waves of saffron follicle glory. Golly, you are a lot more filled out than I noticed before, too. That reminds me, your dress is different. You might catch a cold with all that warm, peachy flesh showing.”
    “You are so considerate, my sweet. Yes, perhaps we should retire to my cottage. It is right over here. Do you like it?”
    “Oh, yes, Ma’am, this is just the most darling little cottage I ever imagined. It has slopy roofs, windows and doors. It is decorated in colourful swirls. It almost looks as if it is constructed of cake and icing.”
    “Come inside, Icksy, my loving slave.”
    “Yes, Ma’am. Ahh, it’s adorable in here! It smells like a bake shop in here!”
    “Wouldn’t you like to live here, Ichabod?”
    “Yes, Ma’am!”
    “You would be happy here, would you not?”
    “Oh, yes, Ma’am!”
    “You and I, living here, happily ever after. That sounds nice, doesn’t it, Ichabod?”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “Look at me, Ichabod.”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “I am pleasing to behold, am I not?”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “I am tall.”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “Strong.”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “Voluptuous.”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “You are for me, Ichabod.”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “Come to me.”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “Let me embrace you.”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “Let me hug you to my bosom.”
    “Mm, mmph.”
    “Listen.”
    “Mmm.”
    “Smell.”
    “Mmm.”
    “Do I smell good to you, Ichabod?”
    “Mmm, hmm.”
    “Can you hear my heartbeat?”
    “Mmm, hmm.”
    “Listen, Ichabod, it speaks to you.”

    “Mmm, my Ichabod, you belong to me, now. Isn’t that nice?”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “You are tired, my child, you want to lie down with me, don’t you?”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”

    “Remove that amulet, from around your neck, Ichabod.”
    “Yes, Ma’am.”
    “This amulet is a device of some kind. What does it do?”
    “It’s a locket; it opens up. Inside is a picture of Miss Plumtartt.”
    “ Hsssssck! It is an image of a woman! How dare you!”
    “Miss Plumtartt, … Miss Plumtartt, … Miss Plumtartt! Oh my Goodness, where am I? What am I doing? Hey, you crazy old hag, get your hands off of me! I am for Miss Plumtartt!”
    “You have broken my spell! You fool! You could have had a perfect life and lived happily ever after!”
    “No Ma’am, that wouldn’t be right. I already done fell for Miss Plumtartt fair and square. Hey, this ain’t no spicy ginger
