No.240 "Yes,
who is this?"
No.113 "I'm
sorry to have to call you like this."
"Yes, but
what do you want?"
"I'm One-one-three,
I contribute to The Tally Ho you know."
"Yes."
"I understand
that you are our best Observer."
"You didn't
phone me to say that."
"No, well the
truth of the matter is, what our readers want to know is why do you wear your
cape inside out?"
"I beg your
pardon!"
"That's okay,
but why?"
"I don't think
this has anything to do with you."
"Are you in allegiance
with the Butler?"
"What are you
talking about?"
"The Butler."
"What about
him?"
"You haven't
noticed?"
"Noticed
what?"
"And you're
supposed to be one of our best Observers!"
"Look if you
don't ring off I'll have to call my Supervisor."
"The Butler,
like you, wears his cape inside out!"
"..............................."
"Are you
still there?"
"Yes, yes I'm
still here."
"Well, is it
a way of demonstrating your individualism?"
"I can't
speak for the Butler. But the
reason I wear my cape inside out is......because I don't want to look
silly!"
