Barkis, clad in a Winnie-the-Pooh costume, flushed red with embarrassment. "At least it's not that firecracker red bikini again, " he muttered as invisible hands shoved him onto the fashion walkway.
The Maggot cackled evilly as Mrs. Widow whispered into his ear. "Here he is, Barkis-the-Pooh!"
Emily walked onto the stage then carry a honey pot and smiled sweetly. "You forgot something, Barkis, dear." She then dumped the whole contents on him to the delight of the audience.
Barkis wiped the honey from his eyes. "Et tu, Emily?" he growled.
