Normally, Dante likes to make sure that efurry aspect of his domain is up to scratch. However, come Spring he also needs to confirm his dominance using another of his senses.
"I needs ta noe ...
... dat absolootly ...
... efurryfing around heer ...
... is up ta SNIFF!"
(I actually think Dante meant to say 'up to snuff'', but we'll leave well enough alone, shall we?)
