I think his head is supposed to be tipped to one side,,,

Maybe YOU should give it a whirl, Audrey.

Turning, turning

Love keeps burning

Like a fire in my heart

When wer’e apart but

When we’re back together

You keep changing like

The weather, whoops, now

(“Yo Yo”, by the Osmonds)

Tell me what you want me to do, Myra, dervish is my command!

Whirling is an essential part of disapparation ! Any 1st year wizard knows that!

That’s how it rolls with Mr. Sperling.

…and she would then be…Mrs Dervish?

Knitting knitting always knitting ….

I can’t tell if she’s expressing disappointment or appreciation.

If he tries to whirl with his feet like that, he’s going to be a stumbling Dervish.

Life is always taking strange turns at the Dervish house.

It doesn’t seem exclusively Muslim.

“To turn, to turn, will be our delight,

’Til by turning, turning, we come round right."

Knitters gotta knit, dervishes gotta whirl.

We used to do newspaper crossword puzzles at work as a group. I was the only one that could guess the word from the clue “dancing holy man”. One of my proudest moments.

He’s a dervish. What do you expect?
