Hilda

You've been an enormous help! Thanks so much!

Marianne

E-excuse me. I have some more supplies that just arrived for the infirmary.

Hilda

Oh, were there more? I thought I'd gotten them all.

Marianne

I just have bandages and other small things, but there might be more coming.

Hilda

Well, I just got the boys to bring in the heavy bottles.

Hilda

Looks like we can't fit all of it without some rearranging though.

Hilda

You know, if you'd arrived earlier, you could have helped me tidy up.

Marianne

My apologies.

Hilda

I don't really need your apologies. I need your help.

Marianne

Oh, OK. How can I help?

Hilda

How can you help? I said "tidy up," didn't I?

Hilda

See the shelves there? See if you can clear out some space and tuck away the bandages.

Marianne

I can try...

Marianne

Ah!

Hilda

Hey! Careful, Marianne. There's some strong stuff in those bottles.

Marianne

I'm sorry. I—

Hilda

No, look, just leave the bandages for now, and move the bottles from the shelf.

Marianne

I can do that. Ah! Now the bandages fell!

Hilda

Aaagh! No!

Hilda

So, in the end, I did it all by myself.

Marianne

I'm sorry that I was no help. I just got in your way.

Hilda

It's fine. We'll even it out with pastries.

Marianne

You want me to get you pastries? I guess I can.

Hilda

You seem so thoughtful and composed, but you're surprisingly clumsy.

Hilda

It's such an odd mix, I practically have no choice but to take over for you.

Marianne

You're right... I'm sorry.
