"Oh, my..." Nadine gasped, it becoming hard for her to breathe.
"Alexander. Did you decide to forgo the Duke gig and pursue a career as a clown instead?" Helga was nearly rolling on the floor with laughter. "I'm... dying. I know a ringleader. I'll introduce you sometime."
"It hurts," Nadine said, letting out a loud chortle.
"Can't breath," Helga snorted.
