[There's the sound of some background noise; birds tweeting, shrubbery being trodden underfoot, but above all that there's the sound of someone- a woman- humming cheerfully.]

Oh my goodness, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many plants before except in picture books! And isn’t it a lovely day? I’ve never had a dream before where I got to be in a forest, but if it means that I get to see lovely trees and animals like this then I don’t think I mind it at all!

[Some more happy humming can be heard, and footsteps through the undergrowth.]

My back’s all itchy. That’s funny, I don’t usually get an itchy back when I dream. Oh no, I’m not allergic to trees am I? That would be just awful! Magic Book, could you tell me if I’m allergic to trees?

[…]

Silly old Milly, of course the book isn’t going to tell you that, books can’t talk!

…I wonder if there’s a pudding tree? All my very best dreams have pudding somewhere, so it really doesn’t make a lot of sense if there isn’t a pudding tree…

[More humming, someone sure sounds cheerful. Then she stops.]

…I think I’m lost.

Thank you Mr. Hughes! My name is Milly Thompson, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance!

And yours! It looks like you've even got the luck of not being here completely by yourself.

If you have any questions about the place, I'm more than happy to answer them.

Mm, my Middle Big Brother says it's a good thing I have such good luck otherwise I'd get into a lot more trouble than I normally do.

Sound advice. Your brother must be a very intelligent young man.

Oh he is, he's off learning how to be a doctor.

A very worthwhile profession, from what I hear.

It is, my third cousin twice removed is a nurse, and my grandpa always used to say that there can never be too many healing hands in the world.

And he was absolutely right. Life would be a much happier experience if people were to pick up bandages instead of weapons, hm?

Mm hmm, and it would be even happier if people didn't get hurt anymore so they wouldn't need the bangages.

It really would. Maybe we'll all be able to get to work on that by the time we're out of here, eh?
