Poor Penelope! Her joy at discovering an abandoned baby bird was shortlived! For no sooner had she breathlessly concluded the tale of her rescue,Theroude, her rather eccentric younger brother patiently explained that ifPenelope was to keep the bird alive she would have to feed it worms. WORMS!… And bugs.BUGS!... Nodding with emphasis, he continued, “and they need to be cut up -into pieces. Unless of course you prefer to chew them up and spit them into thelittle bird’s…” Penelope screamed. This outburst brought Mother to the scene.Charmed with the unexpected guest, but sensing something distinctly amiss,inquired as to the difficulty. “It eats WORMS!Mother, and BUGS! Penelope was near swooning. Her tummy felt strange and hermouth had filled slightly with saliva. Theroude says I must cut them intoPIECES! Theroude nodded again, “Unless she would prefer to chew them up andspit them into…. Penelope barely muffled another shriek. “What IS wrong withher Mother? That is what the mommies DO!” grumped Theroude. Mother paused. Hereye fell briefly upon the food processor, but she extinguished the thoughtimmediately. The implications were too gruesome. A grim silence fell upon thelittle domestic drama. It was Theroude who finally lifted the pall with his mostpatient and professorial sigh. “I shall Eviscerate them” He said, pleased thathe could use his ‘word for the day.” Theroude had been reading throughWebster’s dictionary and he was in the ‘ E ‘ section. I will take tissuesamples and look at the rainbows in their wings. It will be… It willbe…Enervating! He spoke with conviction, piercing the air with a pudgy finger.Now Theroude was of a scientific and literary bent, but his sister decidedlywas not. Her response to this outpouring of heroism was to quite nearly knockhim off his feet with kisses and at the risk of crushing the life from the poorbird - several violent embraces. Teetering and grimacing, Theroude gasped, “Thesituation is..is…Escalating! Relieved and sensing the celebratory mood, Motherbegan searching a forgotten closet and produced an old birdcage for Penelope tokeep her new charge. “This will do for a while “ she said. Theroude was stilladjusting his jacket and re-buttoning his starched collar to his chin. Ibelieve Penelope is…is... Effervescent! Perhaps even Ebullient! He wasthoroughly enjoying himself now. She is..She is… Enamored.... Electrified! Hisvoice trailed off as he disappeared into the hallway. She is… Effluvious!Effluvious?
