Who wouldve thought the Ministry of Agriculture could be so terrifying?
We got some typically great moments this week, but our cozy Yorkshire veterinary family was so separated!
Everyone off, doing their own thing.
And people tend to like having a livelihood.
But, James insisted it would generate money for the practice and also keep people from dying.
Boy, does he have egg on his face now.
Not because those two pointsarenttrue; more because he is tired and everyone is mad at him.
The imposing Ministry of Agriculture summons James to its towering stone headquarters.
How did this happen?
Damnit, a child could understand that, says Mr. Harcourt.
A lot is on his shoulders!
And he keeps feeling bad about not enlisting, especially now that conscriptions started.
That would be hard, but also, no, James, bad.
Take care of the cows.
Theyve been dying on this show at an alarming rate.
Theres James off on his own, with shouty Herbert Hoover.
I guess we can account for Helen too, now that she lives in Skeldale House.
Helens in the attic filling out forms for James.
She is literally his attic wife.
Thats the mostNorthanger Abbeytype attic wife reveal.
Can you imagine if Jane Eyre crept into the attic, and theres Bertha Mason doing Mr. Rochesters taxes?
But yes, Tristan has saved up and bought a car.
This car is essentially Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Its horn even makes an aoooo-gah sound, along with its many other grumbles and bangs.
Jess politely barks at Tricki to get him to move, but to no avail.
Tricki is a rock, unless someone has snacks, in which case Tricki is a speeding bullet.
This while calling him Tricki darling.
Tristan even asks Florence Pandhi out on a date, which she accepts.
It goesverywell, unlike Mrs.
Halls date with Gerald.
(Do you remember Gerald?
Everything they do together is the most married thing of all time.
But right, Gerald, yes.
When she tells Siegfried shes going, he is very sure its a date, whichworriesher.
I am delighted that the idea of this being a date was so far removed from Mrs. Gerald isfine, but fine is not good enough for Mrs. Hall!
She is wearing a decidedly this is a friendship concert outing ensemble.
One would expect no less from such upstanding people.
But she likes her life in Darrowby.
Oh right, so what happened with James and the cows?
He finds a cow with TB, and of course its at the extremely nice farmers place.
took the best milking cow.
Of course he did.
Only once they flag down the truck, they discover its thewrongtruck.
They make it to Jeffs and find out the milking cow is still alive.
Jeff thinks the cow mix-up is hilarious.
HAHAHA WRONG COW he shouts.
I wonder, what do you do in your free time, Jeff?
He calls James acredit to his profession.
James feels less exhausted and sad now!
And he is saving lives and people arent mad at him!
Great job, James.
How the tables have turned, my tiny, treat-loving friend.
