<TD vAlign=top>Right, all the decorations are up in the ward. Time to wrap the presents and sort out the crackers.</TD></TR>

<TD vAlign=top><STRONG>Matron:</STRONG></TD>
<TD vAlign=top>You're doing such a splendid job, Alice.</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD vAlign=top><STRONG>Alice:</STRONG></TD>
<TD vAlign=top>Thank you. I've always loved organising Christmas parties and I want this to be a really fun time for the kids, to take their minds off being in hospital.</TD></TR>
