[Panel 1]
[Bell]
By the way, I'm planning
to shop on Thursday next
week, if anyone wants
anything from Tesburys.

[Nils]
What's wrong with Friday as usual?

[Bell]
The shops'll be full of idiots
stocking up for a ten-day siege
just 'cos they only have six
hours to shop on Monday instead
of the usual fifteen.

[Panel 2]
[Elizabeth]
Oh, I'd forgotten: Easter's next
Sunday, isn't it?

[Bell]
Yup. Aren't you going home?

[Elizabeth]
Nah, Aunt Jan's visiting
for the weekend.

[Bell]
And you don't like her?

[Elizabeth]
She's fine. But her three dogs
sleep in my room when she visits,
and they don't keep off the bed.

[Panel 3]
[Nils]
More giant poodles?

[Elizabeth]
Irish wolfhounds.

I'll just have to do without
the egg-hunt this year.

[Nils]
The what?

[Elizabeth]
The egg-hunt.

[Nils]
Nevereardofit.

[Elizabeth]
Oh, you poor deprived child!

[Panel 4]
[Bell]
Nils, you know at Christmas you come
down in the morning and someone has
left stockings with presents in them?

[Nils]
Er, yes...

[Bell]
Well, on Easter morning you come
down and find someone has laid
brightly-coloured eggs all over
the place for you to find.

[Elizabeth]
That's why they're called
"X-mas" and "Eggs-mas"...
