[Panel 1]
[Bell]
Hang on.
You say it's
crashing about
on the stairs.
It can't be a ghost, they rattle
chains, or at least pint glasses.
And it can't be mice, everyone
knows about "quiet as a mouse".
Omigahd, don't tell me
we've got one of those
ghosts that POLTERS!
[Panel 2]
[Nils]
Are you claiming to
be an adolescent?
Everyone knows
that's what makes
poltergeists.
[Elizabeth]
Clear case of
arrested development.
[Nils]
That's rich coming from someone
who goes "squee" every time
anyone says "Miyazake".
[Elizabeth]
Squeee!
[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
Seriously, Bell -- if you
think mice are QUIET you
never shared a house with one.
[Nils]
I hate to admit it
about a woman who says
"squee", but she's right.
Mice in the loft sounds
like a rugby game
happening in the roof.
[Elizabeth]
And when they go into
a scrum bits of plaster
fall off the ceiling.
[Nils]
Mice are noisy little buggers.
[Panel 4]
[Bell]
In any case I don't
know why you thought
a noise on the stairs
might be Elizabeth.
We all know she's
completely silent.
[Nils]
True for you.
And the one time I did
meet a mouse on some
stairs, it made more
noise than I did.
