[Panel 1]
[Elizabeth]
I was glad to see you two got all
the decorations down before
midnight on Twelfth Night.
[Bell]
Needed doing... Any particular
reason you were glad?
[Elizabeth]
Oh, it's very bad luck to keep
them up after midnight.
They turn into imps and goblins and
torment you for the rest of the year.
[Panel 2]
[Bell]
Oh, come ON! That's just
superstition!
[Nils]
Oh yah? They're like tokoloshes, then.
Not that I REALLY believe in
those. I don't put my bed on bricks
so they can't get me, anyway.
[Bell]
Oh, THAT'S why you have bricks
under the server cabinet!
[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
What are we going to do with
the tree, though? Do the
dustmen take them round here?
[Nils]
I told you -- I'm going to have a braai.
[Elizabeth]
Roast a wildebeeste whole? That
tree isn't big enough.
[Nils]
Maybe not, but Bell said
she knows someone over in
Upton Park with a goat.
[Panel 4]
[Bell]
I asked him about that, but he
won't let it go. He's rented it
out to the West Ham groundsmen.
[Elizabeth]
To trim the grass?
[Bell]
No, he said something about
using it to keep rich Russians
out of the manager's office.
