the dwarfs, although they were sad and lonely over the loss of their dear friend, they rejoiced over her coming by every Thursday to call all the animals in, leaving fresh cut flowers & a fresh lemony smell, after kissing them on the tops of the heads before they went off to work.

all I can do is

Laugh!
