In the studios of Radio WTWINN quite a few of the Tumbling Twinns had been roped in to play various parts in the ongoing saga of the Herring family.

| In the special effects department Paige and Jeanette were in charge. Paige picked up her cue and knocked on the props door with Caitlyn's truncheon while Jeanette walked shoes across the fake floorboards.
|
 |
Paige opened the fake door....
Heather started the ball rolling, she was playing the role of Hortense the maid.
"Good evening Madame,"
Virginia had been roped in to play the part of Mrs Vanblob. A wealthy socialite and heiress to countless gazillions. She stepped up to the mike and using her most snobbish voice drawled...."Good evening Hortense, is Mrs Herring in tonight?"
Trying to sound suitably servile, Heather replied, "Madam has just returned from visiting her cousin, please come through to the drawing room and I will announce you."

|
|
Paige closed the props door and grabbed a pair of shoes, joining Jeanette in making footsteps.
|
 |
| "I will bring tea for Madame when I return." Heather said haughtily.
Back In the effects department; Paige closed the fake door while Jeanette walked on her hands across the fake floor.
There was another knock on the fake door and the door opened.
Heather stepped up to the mike again. "Madame, Mrs Vanblob is in the drawing room to see you."
Anastasia came to the mike, trying her best to sound bored and thoroughly pompous. "Thank you Hortense, I will go directly to see her. Please ask cook to make us some refreshements, you know, cucumber sandwiches and tea."
"Indeed Madam." Heather replied.
There was more frenzied activity from the door and footsteps as Mrs Herring went to the drawing room. The door opened.

"Aaah Dahling Mildred, its divine to see you again. How was Paris?"
"Sublime as usual Phoebe. Whoever said I love "Paris in the Springtime" was not jesting. Of course once you are tired of Paris you are tired of life... I met the most divine gentleman while I was there, we did lots of sightseeing together."
"You did? my husband Oliver was in Paris too, he said he had met the most divine woman in Paris. In fact he said the pair of them did more than sightseeing, they had a liason under the Arc De Triomphe! He said that the woman he met was you!"
"Absurd dahling. I would not dabble with a friends husband."
"Then could you explain to me how he ended up with a pair of your scarlet Kristiaan J'or knickers? they even have your trademark fish embroidered in them!"
Paige reached across to her props table and slapped her hand on special slap noise maker.
"You slept with my Olly! there is only 1 thing left for me to do...."

 |
|
| Jeanette picked up her props revolver while Paige covered her ears...
|
 |
Heather screamed off mike while Anastasia made her best "I've been shot in the chest noises."
Jeanette made rapid running footsteps across the floor, and Paige opened the fake door.
"I heard a shot" Heather said dramatically. "Madame Vanblob, you have killed Madame Herring! I am going to call the police."

Dramatic music was the signal for an ad break and Elinor came back on air, "We interrupt this exciting episode of "An altogether fishy business" with a word from our sponsors.....
