00:00Florence asked Dougal how he was.
00:26Well, I've got a new collar on, and it's not broken in yet.
00:32Collar, said Florence.
00:34Of course, said Dougal.
00:35You don't expect me to come out undressed, do you?
00:39Oh, no, said Florence.
00:41I suppose that would never do.
00:43It certainly wouldn't, said Dougal.
00:47But I didn't know you wore a collar, said Florence.
00:51I mean, I've never seen you wearing one.
00:54Are you accusing me of nudity, said Dougal.
00:59And Florence was just assuring Dougal that she wasn't accusing him of anything,
01:03far be it from her, etc., etc., when something came along.
01:08Morning, all, said the violin.
01:13Stradivarius Smith's her name, but you can call me Strad, if you've a mind.
01:18I've come to give you the benefit of me company,
01:21and if I find I like you, I may rip you off a short concerto.
01:25I shall require complete silence, but you don't look like a noisy lot.
01:29Am I right?
01:30Eh?
01:32Am I right?
01:33Eh?
01:34I don't know what this garden's coming to, said Dougal.
01:41Does the BBC Symphony Orchestra know about you?
01:45Hmm?
01:47Orchestra, said the violin.
01:51I'll have you know that I am a soloist.
01:55Oh, temperaments, said Dougal.
01:58Hush, said Florence.
01:59Come with me, said the violin.
02:03So they went.
02:07This is where I live, said the violin.
02:10I give midday concerts to a very distinguished audience of musical trees.
02:16Yes, he does, he does, said the trees.
02:21Florence was amazed, and so was Dougal.
02:24I can see you are amazed, said the violin.
02:30They are amazed, said the trees.
02:33Amazed, amazed.
02:37Florence couldn't get over it.
02:40The trees were amazing.
02:43As an audience, they're a bit rustly, said the violin,
02:47but they're coming useful in many ways.
02:49Like they come in handy for quartets and things, said the violin.
03:08Dougal was very bewildered.
03:12The violin produced some strings.
03:15We leave nothing to chance, it said.
03:20Yes, I can see that, said Florence, also bewildered.
03:24And now I'd like you to meet someone very special, said the violin.
03:30My baby.
03:33No one will ever believe it, said Dougal.
03:35Oh, it's lovely, said Florence.
03:41Lovely.
03:44That's my little Pitsy, said the violin, short for Pitsy Cartle.
03:50Really, said Florence.
03:53Takes after his dad, does Pitsy.
03:55Always on the fiddle.
03:56He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he.
03:59That's the oldest joke I have ever heard, said Dougal.
04:02Oh, sorry, said the violin, couldn't resist it.
04:07Florence called to Zebedee.
04:11Who arrived?
04:14Look, said Florence.
04:16It's called Pitsy, said Dougal.
04:19Well, I'm not surprised, said Zebedee.
04:23It looks like a Pitsy.
04:24When he grows a bit, I'm going to try to get him into the halley, said the violin.
04:32Good idea.
04:34And Florence said she was sure it was.
04:38It's all madness, said Dougal.
04:40It's all madness, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin, said the violin,
