[Panel 1]
[Elizabeth]
Hi Nils. Had a good day at the office?

[Nils]
Isn't that a bit of a cliche?

[Elizabeth]
Only if I offer you
a pipe and a pair
of carpet-slippers.

[Nils]
What's a carpet-slipper?

[Elizabeth]
It's a thing for
moving small carpets.

[Panel 2]
[Elizabeth]
Obviously.

[Nils]
I should have known.

[Nils]
In answer to your
question, no, not
very. Everyone was
trying to think
of excuses to
get off early.

[Elizabeth]
Oh, shame.

[Nils]
The best bit was coming home.

[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
Isn't it always? Me too, though.

[Elizabeth]
There must be something
going on. The tube was
almost empty. Has there
been a riot in Central
London or something?

[Nils]
No, a football match
in Germany -- remember?

[Elizabeth]
Oh, was that today?
I'd forgotten. So
has somebody won yet?

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
I think England did.

[Elizabeth]
There'll be a riot going
on in Edinburgh, then...

[Nils]
Oh?

[Elizabeth]
They were all backing
"anyone but England"
up there, last I heard.
