♪ (orchestral flourish) ♪ (ding) ♪ (“Ride of the Valkyries” plays) ♪ (dramatically, with British accents) I'm so in love with Lady Sybil Thornsburydale. I cannot wait to take her riding across the foggy moors upon my tiny pony. Oh my goodness! Here she comes now! I shall hide myself, it will be a great surprise. (boots make clomping sounds) Oh Dashiell, I love riding with you on your tiny pony. I stole it from stupid Cyril! (laughs) He is stupid! Let's never tell him. (they laugh) Vengeance
will be mine! Dashiell's never been able to resist an opportunity for hydration. But he's also never been able to resist… poison! Drip, drip, drop! Who's stupid now? Ha! ♪ (orchestral music swells) ♪ (body crashes to the ground, cup clatters) ♪ (orchestral flourish ends) ♪
