[Panel 1]
[Bell]
Hi Elizabeth -- you're in early?
[Elizabeth]
I'm seeing Caz before the meeting
this evening so I thought I might
as well not bother to go home first.
[Bell]
Going to get some
bookshelves sorted out?
[Elizabeth]
Yeah. It's about
time I got
round to it.
I'll have a pint while I wait.
You're not exactly rushed
off your feet, are you?
[Panel 2]
[Elizabeth]
In fact, apart from that
old bloke in the corner....
[Bell]
Oh, you can see him? Most people
can't. That's our resident ghost.
[Elizabeth]
Really? I've never seen one before.
So what does he do?
[Bell]
Sits in the corner. Drinks his pint. When we
call last orders, he goes home. Of course,
sometimes somebody sits on him...
[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
Coo. What happens then?
[Bell]
He vanishes and doesn't
come back for the
rest of the evening.
[Elizabeth]
Well, so would I if
someone sat on ME.
Does anybody know who he was?
[Bell]
He's been here longer than me.
Some of the regulars say there was
a fellow who used to sit in that
corner every evening, but he kept to
himself and nobody knew who he was...
[Panel 4]
[Elizabeth]
Aren't you curious? I mean, hasn't
anyone tried to find out any more?
[Bell]
Steve did get that team
in from some TV thing
to see if they could
tell him anything.
[Elizabeth]
"Beer and Spirits"? That
programme about haunted pubs?
[Bell]
That's the one. They all sound the same.
[Elizabeth]
And what did they find out?
[Bell]
Nothing. They just got bored and fell
asleep watching him make a
pint of mild last all evening.
