"You're sure it's safe to let them march about like this?"

"They do it every day."

"We can't let them near the public. One of them may have killed the keeper!"

"Don't be stupid. It was her lover who murdered her and placed her here to mislead the police. It's pathetically obvious to anyone with a brain."

"Hmpf. I still don't like the look of that one."

"Ridiculous. Aside from his honoured standing as Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian King's Guard, there is no way Nils Olav could have killed her."

"Why not?"

"Simple, my dear John. Penguins haven't opposable thumbs."
