What ho, Professor Fate! We never did finish that questionnaire, you know. Somehow we got on the topic of eggs instead and never quite came back around to the main point. In fact, not only did we not finish, we didn't really get much of a start, either. So I'm just going to assume that you answered "yes" to question number one, "Are you evil?"

Is it like him not to respond? It may be a coma.

[helpmejeeves]

It's not like him at all. He usually responds fairly promptly, and at high volume.

I didn't think that it might be a coma. I'd best check on him. These coma whatsits sound like very serious business.

[19centconstable]

They're quite disturbing to see in person. Shaking doesn't help a bit.

[helpmejeeves]

How awful! But they get better, yes?

[19centconstable]

Yes, eventually. At least, I don't think anyone hasn't.

[helpmejeeves]

Well that's a relief. Maybe a bit of snooze will improve his temper somewhat.

[19centconstable]

Has he been touchy? Perhaps he's just in a mood.

[helpmejeeves]

I got the impression that he was always in a mood. A very loud sort of mood.

[19centconstable]

Our Inspector back home is the same.

[helpmejeeves]

[After a little while.]

I say, Georgie, could you pop down to deck 7 to help Eddie and I break down a door?

[Yes, he called George "Georgie." George is acquiring a nickname. (At least it's better than Eddie's nickname.)]

[19centconstable]

[You're in luck Bertie, as that actually is George's nickname.]

I'll use my other shoulder this time.

[helpmejeeves]

[Clearly everyone should have a name ending in -ie.]

Good chap. Eddie and I will assist. [Or get in the way. They're pretty much the same thing with Bertie.]

[19centconstable]

Have either of you ever broken down a door before?

[helpmejeeves]

Yes.

Well, that is to say, no. Not successfully at any rate.

[19centconstable]

Perhaps you'd best leave it to me, then. I'll be up directly.
