Dougal feels a strong hand on his shoulder, herding him into the kitchen. Frederick's beard is so close it tickles Dougal's ear. "Gimme a hand with the dishes, will ya?"
Once they are alone together, Frederick points a pudgy finger at Dougal. "I heard from one of the neighborhood cats, that heard it from a dog, that heard it from another dog, what you did. What is the matter with you? Third Rule of Adventure Club: ESPECIALLY not to the HUMANS and that includes their Children, Pets, Livestock, Allies, and Known Associates. I'm not mad at you, just don't be STUPID. Go on: go have fun with your friends. Scoot!"
Frederick snaps a dishtowel at Dougal's backside and drives him from the kitchen. He gets to work washing the dishes and chanting to himself in a trancelike cadence: 3rd rule, subsection A, especially not to the Humans and their PETS. 3rd rule, subsection B, especially not to the Humans and their LIVESTOCK. 3rd rule, subsection B, clause Exception Prime, livestock exemption PIGS, GOATS, ALAPCAS, 3rd rule mumble mumble mumble.
He seems to be in his happy place, so the others leave him to his task and step out into the fresh air.
