Scene: Rusty has somehow found his way onto the mantelpiece, and having picked his way indelicately over the valuable and vulnerable china ornaments, is rocking his body back and forth as he prepares for the impossible jump sideways and up two feet onto a shelf in the alcove which is also full of much loved knick-knacks. With visible effort, the woman swallows a hysterical shriek just in case it rattles him and he sends everything to the floor. The man enters the lounge and she says “Look at him! I can’t believe how he got up there…”
Translation: I'll be fine just as long as I can push all this rubbish out of the way...
