Standing in the rain all day

Frog's stuck outside Roadkill Library waiting to get in ready for a ten o'clock children's event, it being half-term. Getting a bit nervous, he rang Dutch Bend to make sure that somebody was available to let him in, it being half-term. Dagmar answers the 'phone...

"I'll just find out what's happening, hang on a minute. By the way, we didn't get any scissors with our activity table materials at Raccoonville. Will we be getting scissors?"

"You should have got scissors."

"We only got two pairs last summer."

"Is anybody coming to open up the library?"

He was rescued by the arrival of Dotty Trampoline, who'd been held up by the traffic.
