No.113 “I
understand that you work in the Computer Room.”
No.8 “What about
it?”
“Nothing, but it
must be a very responsible job, you having a position of authority.”
“It is, and I have, who did you say you are?”
“It is, and I have, who did you say you are?”
“I didn’t.”
“You're not from
time and motion are you?”
“Should we be?”

“Who’s he?”
“He’s a photographer Number One-one-three-b, and I’m Number One-one-three, we contribute to The Tally Ho don’t you know.”
“No, I didn’t know.”
“Well we do. Tell me Number Eight, do you have a sister?”
“He’s a photographer Number One-one-three-b, and I’m Number One-one-three, we contribute to The Tally Ho don’t you know.”
“No, I didn’t know.”
“Well we do. Tell me Number Eight, do you have a sister?”
“A sister?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“No.”
“Oh!”
“Why do you ask?”
“Well myself and my colleague here have observed that there are a number of twins, or doppelgangers in The Village. Number One-one-three-b here has one himself, Number One-one-three-c”

“What’s that got
to do with me?”
“Well myself and
my colleague here couldn’t help but notice that woman who gave you that daily
prognosis report on Number Six.”
“You are from time and motion!”
“You have to admit
that there is a similarity between you both. Height, hairstyle and colour, even
the facial features are similar.”
“I don’t have to
admit to anything!”
“Tell us Number
Eight, how do you get on with Number Two?”
“That little
pipsqueak!”
“Annoying?”
“Insufferable!”
“Insufferable!”
“Your expression
didn’t go unnoticed.”
“When?”
“When Number Two put you down about the efficient prognosis programming must include a quantum permutation of the cause and effect of all supplementary elements. In other words, the computer calculated the old woman’s behaviour would change the behaviour pattern of Number Six. You didn’t like that did you?

“Can I help you
with anything else?”
“Well might not it
be better if instead of having a computer technician hand a prognosis report to
someone else, for that person to simply hand it to you. He could simply to hand it to you himself. Or that you yourself got out from behind
that desk and collected any such sheet of paper yourself.”
“You are from time and motion, get out of
here! You’ve got a …………..”
“Now calm down and
remember you’re a lady.”
“Oh get out!”
“Don’t worry we’re going. And don’t think we haven't been thrown out of better offices than this!”
