The bear shuffled its alternatives. "Real things are good."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
David started to draw a jumbo jet on the back of his letter. "You and I are real, Teddy, aren't we?"
The bear's eyes regarded the boy unflinchingly. "You and I are real, David." It specialized in comfort.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Teddy - I suppose Mummy and Daddy are real, aren't they?"
Teddy said, "You ask such silly questions, David. Nobody knows what 'real' really means. Let's go indoors."
"First I'm going to have another rose!" Plucking a bright pink flower, he carried it with him into the house. It could lie on the pillow as he went to sleep. Its beauty and softness reminded him of Mummy.

Many many, many years ago, this beautiful French boy I had a crush on was chatting amiably with me about Tintin, and I stupidly mentioned Snowy. "His name is Milou! " said my crush, frostily.
Oops!! ::) :laugh:
BTW, don't laugh, but--I actually did go to see War Horse over the holiday weekend, and--wonder of wonders, I didn't hate it! Of course, it has something to do with the very earnest Mr. Jeremy Irvine, I think.... ;D

Well, in War Horse, he does expose a single (albeit chaste) nipple!
