[Panel 1]
[Bell]
So that was 2020.
[Nils]
Yeah, I'm ranked
number five worldwide
at Letter Monopolist!
[Elizabeth]
Poor books, sitting there with
nobody to wander through the stacks
with inadequate rations and a
too-Euclidean sense of direction…
[Panel 2]
[Nils]
Aren't they usually
alone over Christmas?
[Elizabeth]
Yes, but usually
I COULD go and see
them if I liked.
[Bell]
And usually I'd choose to
stay here, but now I HAVE to.
[Panel 3]
[Nils]
At least it wouldn't look
so VERY different if we
could do what we wanted.
I mean, there are
people doing
Christmas with just
their households for
the first time ever.
[Bell]
I heard a couple in Tesbury's
working out that they didn't have
to buy a tin of the nasty chocolates
that only Granny likes 'cos Granny
won't be there, so they could get
nice ones instead. Sort of laughing
and crying at the same time.
[Panel 4]
[Elizabeth]
And the panic buying
doesn't seem to be too bad.
[Nils]
Why would you be panic
buying now when you've
had YEARS to stock
up for next week?
[Bell]
Not everyone has space for an attic
full of flour, rice and Spam…
