    Operator “Number please.”
    Number 6 “Put me through to the hospital, psychiatrics, Head of the department.”
    “Number please.”
    “Six.”
    “And you are calling?”
    “The hospital, psychiatrics, Head of the department.”
    “Yes but do you have a number?”
    I’ve given you my number!”
    “Not your number.“
    “Not my number?”
    “The number of the person you’re calling.”
    “I don’t have a number.”
    “No number, no call!”
    “Damned operator. The sooner Number Two gets an automatic telephone exchange installed in The Village the better!”

Be seeing you
