[sounds of sniffling, then a tiny, delicate sneeze. when Giselle speaks, her voice sounds a little odd, like her nose is stuffed up.]
Oh dear! I seem to have caught just the tiniest of -- [sneeze] -- oh, do excuse me, but the thing is that I -- one moment...

But you don't sound so good. Could you use a cup of tea or anything?

I do appreciate the offer! It might do me some good to just have a hot cup of herbal tea -- I think we have some aniseed... Of course I don't want to inconvenience anyone, but just if you have a spare moment or two and wouldn't mind nipping up to my room? I would be ever so thankful!

Of course, it's no trouble. We probably have some peppermint too...

I do hope I don't pass it on to anyone else! I can understand why Mr. Wolf locked himself up -- I would be heartbroken if I knew I'd caused someone else to feel this way!

Mr. Wolf? I don't think I met him before...
What are the symptoms like besides your sneezing and running nose?

I do feel bad for him -- he's been hard at work ever since he joined the crew, and what with being ill so soon after he boarded, it's no wonder you haven't seen him yet! You should drop by the kitchens and say hello -- I'm sure he'd appreciate that so much!
Well...my poor little throat is a bit sore and I start to cough if I talk too loudly; I won't be singing any arias for a while, unfortunately! (Luckily the mice, little angels that they are, are keeping my spirits up with a lovely operatic rendition of Captain Robert and the H.M.S. Ophelia! Aren't they sweet?) Thank you for asking; you are very thoughtful!

Is there anything you'd like me to get you?

Do we still have some aniseed? Sophie offered to get me some tea (because she really is lovely), and if you wouldn't mind just checking to see if we haven't run out?

Aniseed?
[sounds of rummaging through cupboards]
Yes...I think we do...there's a whole box of it in here! I'll put the kettle on for when Miss Sophie comes down.

Oh my, don't be silly! My desserts aren't anything really special -- just remember to bake with all your heart, and they'll turn out just fine!

If you do need a little extra help, though...I have a secret stash of ready-made cookies that I keep on hand for sugar emergencies! I keep them hidden just in case some crew members get a little, well, ambitious -- they're in the cupboard behind the applesauce, in the tin marked 'Healthy Vegetables'.
