Alice: Notice how that weird new kid is walking right beside Miss Bliss ALL THE TIME? Alice: I'll bet she's scared of fish slapping bears. Kevin: TICKS TICKS, STAY OFF MY HEAD! WHY NOT JUMP ON DILL INSTEAD? Dill: Hey! QUIT IT! Miss Bliss: KEEP TOGETHER, EVERYONE, OR I'LL HAVE TO BLOW MY WHISTLE! Dan: Please don't. I have got the splittingest headache.
Arch. Very arch. Alice is jealous of the weird new girl, whom Miss Bliss is properly protecting and encouraging, while Ranger Dan is looking increasing problematic. He may have gotten this job because of who he knows rather than what he knows. I like Kevin’s apotropaic rhyme, too (sorry, Dill).
