His taking charge, being precise and forceful about what he wants from her, is worth a thousand banquets. Those she conjure on her own, but a Master — ah, that must come from without.

I was actually refering to a real Police Box. I saw one in Britain once.

Neil is a real smart guy–NASA engineer contractor. How long is it going to take him to figure out 1) Araceli takes things literally; 2) Araceli has no understanding of slang; 3) Araceli has no clue about the modern world?

By the way, “cubical” is an adjective. The noun for where engineers sit is “cubicle.” A collection of them is known as a “cube farm,” according to the _Hacker’s Dictionary_. When something happens in a cube farm that is audible around the place, people don’t actually go to the apparent location as our two other engineers seem to be doing; they jump up and look over the cubicle walls. This is known as “prairie dogging.” (Might be less for Rudd to draw that way!)

“She’ll never return.” What? Is she riding the MTA with Charlie?

Panel 4: The profile view of Araceli is not very attractive. My art books all said that profiles are easier to draw than frontal or 3/4 views, but maybe not for every artist…?

Wonder what Araceli would do with the freedom that Neil just gave her? XD
