Rowan: God, how corny are we? Best mates sitting around sewing a quilt! My life must be so sad…
Sadie: Well no-one is forcing you to join in, Rowan!
Effie: I think it was a lovely idea, Sadie, I’m very glad you got us started. I think it’s very relaxing.
Sadie: It’ll look gorgeous on your bed, darling – very romantic! And I know how you like a bit of romance…I can just see you on a cold winter morning, all snuggled up under your beautiful quilt…which reminds me, I couldn’t help wondering…
Rowan: If you’re going to start quizzing Effie about her sex life again, please bear in mind it involves my brother and I’d rather not know the details!
Sadie: Well of course I’m not, Rowan! Anyway I don’t suppose the poor love even has one at the moment –
Effie: I think I’ll go and make some more tea…
Sadie: Sit yourself down, I’ll make the tea.
Rowan: No I’ll do it, yours always tastes like gnat’s pee!
Effie: Oh honestly, you two, I can make the tea, I’m not an invalid!
Sadie: Oh Effie – we’re just trying to look after you! You looked after us when you lived with us, all that cooking and cleaning and ironing, and now it’s our turn to look after you.
Rowan: You did so much for us, Eff, and all we want to do is make you a cup of tea – it’s no big deal! Now, come on, you and Sadie had better get on with this quilt –
Rowan: – because you’re certainly not going to get the time when those babies come! Now, I will go and make the tea.
Sadie: Okay darling, the coast is clear – so tell me – are you and Will still doing it?
Effie: Oh Sadie, honestly – ! Well, actually…
