Buttercup passed Westley as he was entering the horse-stables and she was leaving.

"Did you enjoy your ride in the pastures?" Westley asked pleasantly.

"Have you been spying on me!?" Buttercup shouted arrogantly.

"Not at all," Westley said. "But, from the glow of your beautiful face, you were riding out in the sun. And I can see the dust of the high grass on your clothes—"

"Aah!—" Buttercup's face suddenly contorted. "AAH!!—" Westley held a handkerchief against her face, just in time. "ATCHOO!!"

"And your hay fever is flaring up," Westley said. "Blow, please."

THBBBT!! "Thank you," Buttercup said meekly.
