I was only half right when I added that comment in the 'gladstone-disney.index'
file. A page's worth of panels is missing, including the last panel of the
story. In that (page-wide) panel Scrooge exhibits the pearls and Glomgold
is laughed at.

The original story (D 4660) was in two 6-page parts. The second part had an 
introductory half-page splash panel. This panel is skipped along with two
panels from page 2 and the final panel, so in total a page was skipped. 

When I saw the USA reprint, I *knew* the (quite abrupt) ending was not like
this originally.
