[Panel 1]
[Elizabeth]
The only thing is, I'd
rather not do a standing order
or whatever, I don't trust
my bank to get it right.
[Nils]
I don't mind cash.
In fact, I prefer it.
[Elizabeth]
I thought you just said
your whole job's about
imaginary money... Don't
you work in banking?
[Nils]
Yes. That's WHY I prefer cash.
[Panel 2]
[Elizabeth]
OK. Will Sterling do?
[Nils]
Unless you can get hold
of Krugerrands...
[Elizabeth]
How about cowrie shells?
[Nils]
Nice stable currency but it
takes up rather a lot of space.
Speaking of space, which
room would you like?
[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
Well, the one with the
long outside wall has plenty
of room for bookshelves.
[Nils]
The one over mine? Fine by me,
as long as you read quietly.
[Elizabeth]
Great! I can get the rest
of my books out of storage!
[Nils]
Um.... how MANY books?
[Panel 4]
[Elizabeth]
Heavens, I don't know. I gave
up counting them years ago.
[Nils]
You measure them by the
yard of shelf-space?
[Elizabeth]
These days it's more
like the hundredweight.
[Bell]
Coffee by the hundredweight, did
you say? I think we may need it.
