"You have a treat in store, Mr Klein!" Says Phyllis as they board a bus,"Maggie here once sold two dozen jams to a closed meeting of deacons and bishops! She is a wonder to behold when it comes to shut doors!"

[Mr. Handy]

"Well, credit where credit is due," said Maggie. "I may have got the door open, but 'twas your umbrella kept it that way."

The three boarded a red double-decker bus that took them southwest to the seat of government in Westminster. There hadn't been any bomb damage here that they could see, but sandbags were piled up outside buildings and soldiers were on patrol and guard duty. They walked the short distance to King Charles Street.



The building entrance was guarded by a pair of soldiers with stern looks on their faces.

[Pastiche]

Benjamin clears his throat, straightens his jacket and walks up to the guards. "Greetings, fine gentlemen. We're personal friends of Lord Colville, and we urgently need to see him. It's a matter of life or death and national importance. Would you be so kind as to tell us where his office is?"

[aine]

Phyllis walks with him and gives the guards one of her 'special' looks. "Yes, we are involved with a special case with Lord Coville and have essential information for him."

[Mr. Handy]

"I'm afraid he isn't in yet this morning," said one of the Tommies. "If you'd like to leave a message for him, I'll see that he gets it."

[Pastiche]

"Could you tell us where he is instead? As we said, it's rather urgent that we talk to him in person..."

[aine]

"Yes, and some of the information is very sensitive, you know. For safety we can only pass it on verbally. Nothing against you and your men of course, but Lord Colville works on a need to know policy as you must be aware." Phyllis sighs.

"Which doesn't make it any easier for us old people. We are trying to do our bit for the war effort but the legwork doesn't half do one in. I really wish his Lordship would sit down and stay in one place sometimes!"

[Mr. Handy]
