Rhino snored as Lou heard Madeline calling for him and his pets. He yawned and slipped on his dressing robe, then poked his head out to look into the kitchen. "Good morning, Madeline," he called and checked in the living room to see if Betty was doing alright- and just as he opened the door, she slipped through the crack and his legs and sauntered right into the kitchen, Lou following close behind, smiling. He saw Maddie was making breakfast and earnestly thanked her, then went outside to get a pail of fresh water from the well behind the house. It was chilly outside and he'd forgotten his scarf in his early morning sleepiness, so he poked his head back in the door and called, "Madeline? Would you toss me my scarf, please? It's on the wall beside the stove."
