Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia Page #5

---

We've carried out experiments...

Well?

Still more pain than fear.

We've tried to instil it

in our infants...

Without' success.

Fear escapes us.

By Odin, we want to know it!

We want to know it!

But why?

He asks why...

Everyone knows

that fear gives you wings, Roman!

And my warriors and I dream of flying.

Like birds.

Then you're in luck.

Britons are the most fearful people

in the world.

They are?

Yes, of course.

Every time you ask them a question,

they answer:

"I'm afraid that..." or "I fear that..."

Then it's decided!

By Odin, We're sailing for Britain!

Gentlemen...

Welcome to Londinium.

The Romans are looking for us.

Let's hide the barrel.

Good idea. But where?

Use your heads. Where is the best place

to hide a tree? A forest.

So the best place to hide a barrel?

A forest?

A...?

A forest...

An inn!

With other barrels.

Excellent

I know just the place.

Cousin Jolitorax,

fearfully pleased to see you.

I say, me too, Relax.

But let's not get emotional.

I'm on a mission for the Queen.

I'll bid farewell to my wife

and I'm yours.

Not necessary. We only want

to hide this barrel with yours.

I see. Easy as pie.

We'll put it in the cellar.

Follow me.

One stout, please.

The energy in this town is amazing.

Excuse me?

The energy here is amazing.

You feel like anything's possible.

Yeah, maybe.

No, it's true. I'm from Lutetia.

It's dead in comparison.

It's stuck in a time warp.

- You're from Lutetia?

- Yeah.

Well, not far.

Barely a two-week walk.

People sure do like stout here.

- Next one's on me.

- No, thank you...

I insist.

I know what you're thinking.

"He's a Gaul, watch out,

they're all Womanizers."

Well not me. I'm no womanizer.

I'm just a guy who loves life.

Life's magical,

timeless moments, you see?

Here, getting to know each other.

I'm full of energy like this town.

I want to live, to laugh, to cry.

Yes, I'm a man who knows how to cry.

I'm not ashamed to say I cry.

I cry very often. Over nothing.

Do you like men who cry?

Not really.

How's everything?

ls the barrel safe?

- What?

- You've got some froth...

So, what do we do now?

Well,

I suppose we could pay

a surprise visit to Ophelia.

Who's Ophelia?

My fiancee.

There's still some...

I'd heard British chicks were dogs,

but she's hot.

Yes, she is pretty.

That black dress really suits her.

Jolitorax...

What a jolly surprise.

I'm frightfully happy too.

But no effusiveness.

I'm on a mission for the Queen.

Since I was in Londinium

I wanted you to meet...

Goudurix. Cool.

Okay you, calm down!

She's his fiancee. Show some respect.

- Forgive him, he's young.

- It's of no importance.

Asterix. At your service.

Pleased to meet you.
