"take it away Miss Ruby"
"what's that Miss Ruby, you can't see the 'entries' properly...they are all blurry and keep moving around"
"i missed that, you'll have to speak up"
"you are feeling a little queasy and the room is spinning?"
"have you been DRINKING, Miss Ruby ?" (gasp, shock, horror)
"i see, yes, yes...it was quite a lot of responsibility for a wee bunny to take"
"oh Miss Ruby do not start to cry, i will do 'the drawing' for you as our #4 is at school, but let this be a lesson to you...drinking and 'prize giving' responsibilities do not mix"
"right here goes"
"and the winner is"...
