In my two short years at the museum I’ve come to know a few people. I’ve also come to know a few of the museum’s resident magical creatures. Over this last weekend, Dynah, the flirtatious Lilly House-elf, agreed to meet me for tea at Starbucks. The following is what we talked about.
Phil: Good morning, Dynah. How are you?
Dynah: Ay-Yay-Yay! I don’t see you anymore. What, you don’t have time for Dynah? The only one of you that comes to see me anymore is the one they call Peeper. You can’t stop by? Say hello to little ol’ Dynah?
Phil: You’re right, you’re right. I’m sorry. I’m in Public Affairs now and don’t handle Lilly House A/V anymore. But we’re talking now aren’t we? After all, this is your interview.
Dynah: You said you’d call. I miss my handsome green eyed shaygets.
Phil: Whoa, Dynah, whoa! Hands off. Sit. Drink your tea. Tell me about something. Anything. Have you been to The Toby yet? Seen a show?
Dynah: I have. But forget that little girly of yours. She can’t cook like I do…
Phil: Dynah, I’m sure you’re better. But can you elaborate on your Toby experience? Please?
Dynah: (Pouting) If you insist. I like the foreign films and a human of mine is going to sneak me into your Winter Nights this Friday. She says the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra is going to play along to “The General.” Oh, how I enjoy Buster Keaton. Care to join us?
Phil: I may stop in for second. What else? Are you excited about our next exhibition? European Design Since 1985?
Dynah: How many more questions do you have? I thought we were going to talk about us?
Phil: Two more, I promise. And I promise we’ll talk later. But now, Dynah, please, our next exhibition?
Dynah: Fine, but you’re going to talk to me later. Yes, as you know, I live in the Lilly House, and I have an affinity for fine design. I’m also close friends with James Dyson’s house-elf, Margaret. We used to play bridge together. She’s excited about the exhibition too because she has in her silly head that the show will have one of the very pieces she used to clean Jim’s carpets.
Phil: That’s interesting. She sounds lovely. Last question and you’ll have to forgive me, but fans of house-elves everywhere are asking, do you know Dobby?
Dynah: Sure I do. The putz dated my cousin.

Oh, Phil. What are we going to do with you?

These pretzels are making me thirsty.
