Glen Smith's Diary (Page 61)

//Panel 2//
Pierre:
Perhaps we should move to Celle. My older brother lives there.
Anna:
Celle!? Why on earth?
Elizabeth:
Anna, I agree that it would be better for your children.
//Panel 3//
Anna:

//Panel 4//
Margrid:
Waaa!
SFX:
THUD
//Panel 5//
Elizabeth:
Margrid!
//Panel 6//
Margrid:
Um, sorry, Grandma, I just wanted to get on top of the window sill.
Elizabeth:
What a tomboy! Causing trouble during the move!
//Panel 7//
