A/N: Watching this programme is one of the fond memories of my youth and I remember with fondness the memories of the laughter while watching this. They don't make comedy programmes like this any more and it is a shame, we could do with more tongue in cheek comedy such as this.

Summary: A very short conversation between several members of the department.


Mr Humphrey's hummed almost silently to himself as he started to shut down his department for the day, he had great plans for his evening and he was excited to think of them as he tidied his counter. He had met up with some old friends and they were going to spend the evening at a new club that had opened up for people of their persuasion not that from the outside it looked any different than any other club but people in his way of life had to be careful.

"You seem happy Mr Humphrey's, got something special planned for tonight?"

Mr Humphrey's turned to reply to Mr Lucas a bigger than usual smile on his face.

"Oh, indeed I have Mr Lucas, I am off for a night of wild abandonment, of drinking and passion the likes of which London has never seen."

"Oh you off to the library then?" smirked Mr Lucas.

Mr Humphrey's looked at Mr Lucas, his eyebrows arched.

"I have no idea what sort of library you go to but such a thing does not happen at mine," remarked Mr Humphrey's with a smile.

"I remember a time at a library when I had a happy old time," a voice piped up behind the two men. "Although my pussy one time got soaking wet and I had to go dry it in front of the fire, that they had roaring there."

The two men turned with somewhat alarmed and puzzled looks on their faces to find Mrs Slocombe standing behind them chatting to Miss Brahms.

"Your pussy, Mrs Slocombe, should not have been out in the rain, or anywhere else come to that!" Mr Lucas started to say.

Mrs Slocombe looked at him down her nose somewhat before explaining her pussy had followed her to the library and the poor thing was so wet, that she had just had to dry him off somehow before she had tried to get him home.

Mr Humphrey's listened with half an ear to their conversation, a bemused smile on his face, as his two colleagues continued their banter for a few moment. As he continued to finish clearing away everything so that he could go home and get ready for his night of abandonment.

He rubbed his hands together in delight and smiled even wider!


A/: I know a very short one but this is my first story for this fandom and hopefully I will be able to do a longer one next time.
