[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!
