:16:11
There's no bread, ducks! Sold out.
:16:13
There seems to be some sort of
panic purchasing.
:16:16
It can't be helped, dear.
:16:18
After all, there is a war on.
:16:20
Or nearly, anyway.
:16:23
I hope you haven't left that cape
dripping in the hall, James!
:16:26
Oh, no, dear.
:16:28
Mr Willis has sold out of protractors.
I expect everyone wants 60 degrees.
:16:33
He was terrifically kind, Mr Willis.
:16:35
He cut me out a bit of card with 60 degrees on it.
Look.
:16:38
Oh! Nice, dear.
:16:40
Here's the emergency supplies, ducks.
:16:42
Two packets of ginger creams,
half a jam sponge,
:16:45
a tin of pineapple chunks
and a tin of Christmas pud.
:16:48
lt'll all be over by Christmas.
:16:53
- You're not decorating now, James!
- We've got to paint the windows white, dear.
:16:58
- Whatever for?
- It's for the radiation, I think.
:17:01
Like they do in greenhouses,
to keep out the sun. It's the correct thing.
:17:06
- It won't be that hot, surely!
- Well, I don't know.
:17:09
They say the one at Hiroshima
was equal to one thousand suns.
:17:14
So it is quite hot.
:17:16
And besides, the powers that be
are making much better ones now.
:17:20
Science has leaped forward with giant strides.
Oops!
:17:25
Mind you don't get paint on those curtains,
James.
:17:27
You should have taken them down first.
You never think.
:17:31
I know that smile of yours, James.
:17:38
"Keep doors closed
to prevent the spread of fire", it says.
:17:43
- But you've taken off half the doors, James.
- Yes, dear.
:17:46
Won't that make the fire worse, then?
:17:48
Er...
:17:49
Well, I er...
:17:51
Perhaps the blast will blow the fire out.
:17:55
Well... Hm!
:17:57
The inner core or refuge looks quite cosy,
doesn't it, dear?
