The housekeeper, Mrs. Murray, is elderly and dressed in a blue and white maid’s outfit. Peter is saying “You understand that after investing so much in the house, we can’t afford to pay your full wages?” Mrs. Murray says “Oh dear, that is a shame. I suppose we’ll all be tightening our belts, won’t we?”
Panel 2: Mrs Murray busies herself in the background, unpacking a box. In the foreground, Peter and Susan huddle conspiratorially. Peter says “Stupid old crone.” Susan says “Please tell me we’re not really going to hire her?”
Panel 3: Peter lights a cigarette, looking smarmy. Peter says “Just for as long as it takes to get everything lined up. Then both she and this grotty hovel will be history.”

Panel 6: The room is full of ore boxes, a bed with a bare mattress, a chest of drawers. Jeremy sits on the floor, surrounded by toy cars, distraught. Jeremy says “Those beastly removal men have lost my best car! The Panther De Ville!”
Panel 7: Susan kneels next to Jeremy, looking under the bed. The view is from under the bed. Behind Jeremy’s head are Mrs. Murray’s feet in front of a toy car. Susan says “Are you sure you packed it? I don’t understand how they could lose only one car?” Jeremy says “Of course I packed it! And they lost it because they’re jealous! They’re horrible jealous oiks!”
