[Panel 1]
[Nils]
You remember you said that it could
have been one book at a time?

[Bell]
Yes?

[Nils]
It occurs to me that she
would have had to read each
one, and we would have been
saved from the influx forever.

[Panel 2]
[Bell]
It would have taken a long
time, but they would have
been here for longer overall.

[Nils]
Mmm. 'Spose. But not as
many on any given day.

[Bell]
Until the end, when it
would have seemed that way.

[Nils]
You're right. Only ten
books less than all of them.
Then nine. Then eight.

[Panel 3]
[Bell]
She might have kept the
small ones for last.

[Nils]
But she might not!

Suppose the last
one took her six
weeks to get through!

[Bell]
Doesn't bear thinking about.

How did you manage on
Tuesday, by the way?

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
Well, I thought about
cancelling, when
it got clear the
books weren't leaving.

[Bell]
Shame!

[Nils]
And then we thought
that we could sit on
them, and that was fine.

Right up until William
started reading one of
the ones from the open box...

I wouldn't have minded so much if
it hadn't been in Anglo-Saxon.
