<strong>Humphrey Throckbottle ~ with Lily aka Ava</strong><br/><br/>Humphrey like this girl already. Manners. Smart. Very clever girl indeed.<br/><br/>"First position...." Throckbottle hadn't gotten her name. "I shall call you girl until I see how well you follow directions. Perhaps in a few days you will have earned a name."<br/><br/>"For now just try to follow along. Do your best." He didn't have much hope of her success. It was a very difficult layering.<br/><br/>A tall blonde came to stand beside her. She whispered softly, "Stay with me."<br/><br/>Humphrey put his hands together and clapped. The sound that came from that union sounded like two pieces of wet paper pulled apart. Almost a sickly slurping.<br/><br/>"Come along. Places. Places Everyone!"<br/><br/>Throckbottle glided to the stool and hovered a finger over the start button.<br/><br/>"One and two and ..." There was a beat for several phrases giving the tempo then the rest of the orchestra joined in.
