  [He pulls out a note book with a child's drawing of a cat] 

  Principal : He drew pictures of cats on his notebook.

  Lester : [flinching away from the drawing]  No cats!

  Antoinette : [dismayed]  I can't imagine.

  Principal : I'm afraid so...

  [stiffly] 

  Principal : He named it "Fluffy!"

  Lester , Antoinette : [they both moan in dismay] 

• Principal : [to Despereaux]  Oh, Despereaux... There are so many wonderful things to be afraid of when you just learn to know how scary they are.
