[Panel 1]
[Bell]
At least after dark it's not so
'orribly 'ot in the 'orrible city.

[Elizabeth]
Yes, and thank the Lord
fasting none of us has to
work here during the day.

[Bell]
We can follow that advice
about shutting the windows
to keep the hot air out.

[Nils]
A fat lot of use that would be
if I were here, broiling alive...

[Panel 2]
[Bell]
Yes, but you aren't.

[Nils]
Mmmm. And when the humans at
the office get too hot, I can
retreat to the machine room.
That's always kept cool.

[Elizabeth]
Well,I've got the basement
stacks. Old books radiate cold.

[Nils]
Really?

[Elizabeth]
That's how it feels.

[Panel 3]
[Bell]
You lucky lot. I just go
and check barrels in the
cellar every so often, and
swelter the rest of the time.

And of course there's making
ice with the ice-machine.

[Elizabeth]
For all those summery drinks?

[Panel 4]
[Bell]
No, for ice-packs to treat the
punters who get in through the door
and then fall over from heatstroke.

[Nils]
Skirts would be the answer.
Swedish train drivers aren't
allowed to wear shorts, so
they're wearing skirts.

[Bell]
I don't HAVE any skirts!
