Veronica rushes into Professor T's
office with the flaming "brazier". The professor wastes
no time in flinging all the nuts he can find into it.
The nuts start exploding loudly. Veronica is dancing
round the room in a panic, and the professor is ducking
to avoid being hit by exploding nuts - some of which
ricochet off the closet door.
Merlin, sitting in
the privy, is terrified of the explosions he can hear
and begins to think he's in the safest
place.
Master Merlin, with his jaw between
his ankles snuggling some articles of clothing and
sporting a very bright shade of red was, appropriately,
speechless.
"Never the less sir," spoke the
custodian, "we must be about our business. If you would
be so kind."
And moving as quickly as he was
capable, with his articles in disarray impeding his
progress, attempts to make an exit while exploding nuts
smack against his Heinikan.
Back at the WHOOPS Seymour wonders about this CONE
business everyone seems to discuss. He's sure he has the
correct size but really would rather do
without.
"Ack, the humans can keep their cones,"
he thinks. "I won't be taking a cone to Veronica when I
visit. I'll have to find a different gift."
In the midst of the exploding nuts,
flaming brazier and half-dressed Merlin, Veronica's
father chose that moment to walk into Professor
Thietris's office.
