in an orphanage.

It's a nice place where

head lice are undesirable.

Hey, wait! Police.

I got something to say to this kid.

Well, uh, yeah.

I'm sorry

about your parents.

That was ugly, that

was ugly what happened.

But you still have your grandpa, right?

Prosper Franklin?

You wanna make sure

he's all right, don't you? Hmm?

You're a clever girl.

You must know where he is.

Huh?

Come on, talk! Say something!

Cat got your tongue?

Come back!

Stop her!

Well?

Well nothing. She disappeared.

I gave up.

April Franklin!

You can hide all you want

but I'm gonna find you.

And I am also gonna

find your grandfather.

I'm will throw him in the can,

and I will be Inspector again.

Be afraid, Franklins!

Beware the wrath

of Gaspard Pizoni!

Napoleon V and Queen Victoria II,

high above the English Channel.

At last, our beloved sovereigns inaugurate

the bridge connecting England and France.

Rome. Another scientist

mysteriously disappears!

No trace has been found

of the poor Enrico Fermi!

Unfortunate news out of

the League of Americas.

Shots exchanged off

the coast of Canada!

Once again, our Imperial Navy

was almost victorious!

The cable car route between Paris

and Berlin is finally repaired!

Take advantage

of this quick trip!

Enjoy 82 hours

of relative comfort

as you travel between

our two capitals!

Summer's here!

Cover up, change the anti-dust

filters on your masks

and come on out

to the summer fair!

Exciting merry-go-rounds

and other thrilling

attractions await you!

You like chemistry?

Do you have anything

more recent?

Oh, no, little lady.

The most recent science

is from the last century.

Oh, all right,

then I'll take that one there.

Coming right up.

CHEMISTRY TREATY

SUMMER FAIR:

Oh. Oh.

Hey! Watch where

you're going.

Hoodlum! I should

call the police.

Pardon me.

Excuse me, sorry!

Huh?

Wh...

Aw, shoot.

It's me!

French poems

Darwin! You know

how tired you get

when you read

alone like this.

I'll read it

to you, okay?

How is it out there?

Same as always.

The war.

Another scientist

disappeared in Rome!

And now there's a bridge

between England and France...

Argh! This soot!

I brought you this,

and some glucose!

Perrault, Puss in Boots.

It was one of your favorites

when I used to read to you.

They really didn't have

much choice today.

Darwin, what's it like

in Rome?

If you paid attention

to my geography lessons, you'd know.

There's more to life

than chemistry.

Rome is magnificent.

The Colosseum.

Bernini's Throne.

But I'll never see any of it.

What are you talking about?

April!

Reading exhausts me,
