She's magic and knows a thing or two
and came down asking
where Thera was as she hadn't seen her around recently.
I didn't have time to answer as there was Thera on the table
as her man had been terribly careless and allowed her to roll off a surface damaging her eye
Before I could say Jack Robinson, Samantha demanded to see Thera alive
and goodness knows from where she got that mark under her right eye - very worrying. Changing heads is hazardous. Clearly she's been crying a lot.
Thera told Samantha that I was proposing to mend her eye last night but Samantha doesn't trust mere mortals, and I can't argue against her. "Beware the doll" is my maxim or unintended events can happen, especially with elves about . . .
Before I could blink, Dr Penny arrived
on a fast magic carpet from the DS factory to do the job. She hadn't had time to do her hair and after briefly saying "hello" got down to work brushing me aside to greet Thera.
she smiled benignly"It'll be OK - you can rely on me - I'm the best DS eye doctor around, especially encharged by the factory to help ailing sisters"
she turned to me"Look here",
I felt quite terrified being told this, by a doll too . . . a blonde doll at that. These blonde doll-heads know what they're doing and don't need us any more. Power-women they are . . ."You're a careless man to let this happen, and Thera's most concerned and really doesn't trust your clumsiness doing this sort of thing"
and she examined Thera in detail"Now I can see what's happened, it's not serious but it's a bit tricky and although it'll sting a bit we'll try to minimise the pain"
Dr Penny's face visibly lit up as she realised that perhaps it might not be as bad as it had seemed at first
"You'll have to lie down"
and whatever the promise of the famous doctor's expertise Thera still looked terrified"and stay still"
Dr Penny tried to put her at rest
and told her she'd give her a prick
It looked very painful
but she told me not to be squeamish as she gave the injection
She'd been sent with a spare pair of eyes
and asked Thera if she'd like to change from green to brown
but Thera replied that she simply wanted to be back to her old self again
so Dr Penny got out her special tool.
and tried to use this suction cup to adjust her eyeball
but despite best efforts
it wasn't strong enough and so more invasive methods began and it started to look most horribly . . .
painful . . . .
finding in the end that two spoons were by far the best
and in a jiffy
the job was done
enabling any damage to her eye socket to be visible and inspected
It was a good job that Dr Penny was called upon by Samantha to arrive on her magic carpet as I had been told by the factory that I needed to insert something under the eye-assembly to bring it forward towards the eye-lid - but Dr Penny knew better . . .
