Clockwise - Book and Character Introduction
SymphonySoldier for Hattie Plunkett
Hattie Plunkett is forceful with Milo. It freaks him out, the way that she’s always trying to send him letters and call him “Apple Pie” to try and be cute. She then comes up with the idea that she’ll go and find him herself, where she gets up into her cart that looks like a Faberge egg and travels to the ugly, cramped up land of Inkwell. It takes her a while, but when she finally finds him, she realizes that she came at the wrong time, as Milo was protecting and hiding Sterling in a clock that he was building.
She should have a very regal voice!
[NORMAL]
So, Sterling, how are you liking the Underworld? Probably not very well because you're stuck in poor man's land, but at least you get a heroic, handsome caretaker like Milo.
[SEDUCTIVE]
Well, you kids can sleep in a room together while Milo comes and sleeps with me, how about that, Apple Pie? [waits for a response; the tone becomes sheepish] Oh, yes, or Milo can sleep with Sterling and Augustus and I can sleep with you and Aggie, uh, great idea, Lily.
[EXCITED]
Oh, Milo! Guess who came to visit you? Did you get my letters? [listens to Milo's snide comeback] Well that isn't a very nice thing to say to your future wife, now is it?
