Scene III
Some Abandoned Cave
Enter Genevieve, Marguerite, Aimee and a Silly Hat with much Pomp and Circumstance into the dark, damp interior. With white faces and hair disheveled.
Marguerite: Alas! An Abandoned Cave! Methinks those blood thirsty turkey's will not find us here!
Genevieve: Yes, we have arrived. That was rather harrowing I must say! How gloomy 'tis! We must have some light! Where ARE those stage hands when you need them? Oh well, Aiiimeeeeee! You must procure us some glimmering lights so that we may better read the name of our Winner of the Giveaway of Wonder!
Aimee (to the audience): What ho? How many Shakespeareans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Genevieve: Friend, I fear these good people will not wish to hear your railings. Peace!
Marguerite: Methinks there ist no place for a light bulb in this cavern of woe.
Aimee: Not a place of woe but a haven of rejoicing and prizes!!
Genevieve: Aha! Which brings us to the point of this propitious post...we are to announce the winner of our very first giveaway ever!!!! So without further ado, well, as much as we can do without ado. Or should I say...with all that previous ado, we give you the winner!
(drum roll accompanied by majestic trumpets, singing of exotic birds, wood nymphs' dancing feet and bleatings of woolly sheep)
In unison (with dramatic pauses for effect): Wait, we will show to you the hat the famous hat that held all your ravishing names. We stowed all your names in this silly top hat.
Marguerite: Then we cast a spell over the hat to protect it from the cheating curse so that the evil munchkins of Cheatersland would not prosper.
Genevieve: Oh dear, silly child. She's always had a flair for the dramatic. I really think you live in an altogether different society than we. She's cast most often in strange and foreign roles. Dracula...Pirate....Lily Maid.
Aimee: We drew in a breath to the fullest inflation of our lungs and drew out the fateful piece of parchment.
Collectively exhale and exclaim with imperfect timing: Anna Kristine!

Genevieve: Shun!
Aimee: Off with their heads!
Marguerite: For we are fans of Christmas and have a special surprise flying this way. It would be wise to give audience to this blog in the days ahead. It should be a hoot.
Thank you all for playing!
