| With the fforbes-Hamiltons always providing the church's crib, Audrey, Marjory and Old Ned, who is acting as Audrey's butler while Brabinger is visiting his granddaughter, make a crib. However, when they go to place it in the Church, Richard, having been asked by the Rector, has installed a brand new crib. After an initial argument, both favour the other's crib, but the Rector decides upon Richard's. On Christmas Day, Audrey and Marjory are both bored at the Lodge, having declined invitations to the Manor. Later in the day, an equally bored Richard and Mrs. Poo arrive at the Lodge, whereupon Audrey suggests they play Sardines. |

Famous quotes containing the words christmas and/or special:
“A woman spent all Christmas Day in a telephone box without ringing anyone. If someone comes to phone, she leaves the box, then resumes her place afterwards. No one calls her either, but from a window in the street, someone watched her all day, no doubt since they had nothing better to do. The Christmas syndrome.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“When, in some obscure country town, the farmers come together to a special town meeting, to express their opinion on some subject which is vexing to the land, that, I think, is the true Congress, and the most respectable one that is ever assembled in the United States.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
