slocombe Miss Brahams however did you manage to get here in this weather you didn't get a chance to tell me yet. Why don't we dress up some of the dummies in scarfs and hats today Miss Brahams. You take that one and I'll take this one. Pass me that drawer of scarfs and gloves I just had a customer in here and she went thru everything we had. I just can't stand a customer that can't make up their minds. Oh drat the drawer is stuck again from the damp weather. Help me get it in place Miss Brahams so I can give it some encouragement (as she slams it shut with a swift push with her bum).

(Elevator opens and Grainger exits the lift. He enters the floor looking jet lagged, yet remarkably dry.)

"Good Morning Mrs. Slocombe and Miss Brahams."

(He signs the sign in book. He puts away his outerwear and then proceeds to check his sales figures for the past week.)

"Sales were up by 2% last week ... at least something is looking up."

(Mr. Humphries and Mr. Lucas arrive on the floor. Mr. Humphries has a broken umbrella because the wind outside was horrific.)

"Hello. Mr. Humphries ... I suppose you should buy a new umbrella. How was your weekend Mr. Lucas?"

(Grainger yawns and puts a suitcase down.)

"Before anyone asks ... I am staying in a hotel for a few days. Apparently, Mrs. Grainger's cousin Wendy is squatting in my home. Wendy is a dreadful woman and I opted to stay outside my home because we do not get along."

(He places a box of crackers inside one of the drawers at his own station.)

"Wendy's husband has left her, so Wendy has come to impose herself upon my wife. I can't blame Wendy's husband for finding a younger woman to be honest."

Yes, I will have to buy a new umbrella, if this dreadful weather keeps up. At least now I know not to buy one from here again! (examines broken umbrella) Sorry to hear of your problem with your wife's cousin. Will it be long before she leaves?

slocombe Good morning Mr. Grainger how long are you to be stuck like this? I'd have you stay at my place but Mrs. Axelby is stuck there since she can't get home either. I don't know how my pussy is going to deal with her being there all day with her. She did get my bird thawed out finally but what a mess. Has anyone heard from Captain Peacock or Mr. Rumbold? Young Mr. Grace probably stayed at his suite in the store last night rather than go home. I'm surprised they even opened the store with this weather. I wouldn't have come in except I'm saving for me holidays again.

Good morning Mr Lucas. My word, you do look cold. You know, the funny thing is, it was raining and windy at my place, not snowy. Are you sure you're all right Mr Lucas? You're as white as a sheet.

slocombe Mr. Lucas you do look frozen. Mrs. Slocumbe motions for Mr. Lucas to come over to the counter. Once you sign in, come on back over and I'll give you a little nip of something to warm you up. Mind you hurry in case Captain Peacock shows up. I can't think where he is or old Rumbold either. Speaking with Miss Brahams now, you know Mrs. Axelby is still staying with me at my house as she can't get home with this terrible weather. My pussy is starting to become quite used to her being around during the day now and my bird just sings away. Mind you Mr. Akbar had his eyes glued to the bathroom window when Mrs. Axelby went to take her bath the other night. She went to pull the shade down and it came off in her hand and there she was stark naked in front of the window. Poor Mrs. Axelby was so embarassed and she has that irish skin you know that turns red as a beet.

<taking a sip of Mrs. Slocombes tonic> Red as a beet, you say? raised eyebrow look.
That's quite a sight to picture, A wilted Irish rose roaming around in her birthday costume, startled by a peeping tom and a broken shade. That's enough to keep any bird singing.

My wife's cousin will be with us for four days, or so I am hoping.

(The men's counter phone rings. Grainger answers the telephone.)

Yes, sir. I will tell everyone. Good bye.

(He turns to face everyone.)

Rumbold isn't coming in today. Apparently his wife told him to stay home because he has a cold.

Well, we now know who wears the pants in that family, heh Mrs. Slocombe? Thank you for the tonic, it was very warming.This weather is very absurd. Rain one minute, snow the next...who knows, we could have a twister any minute now...

slocombe Mr. Lucas don't be coarse! Mrs. Axelby is a very refined person and I am unanimous in that. Mr. Grainger have you sorted out a place to stay yet? I wonder what is keeping Captain Peacock? Its not like him to be this late even with the adverse weather conditions. I hope we're not going to be stuck staying in the store tonight if we can't get back home.

Well, if it were closer to spring or to summer, I could stay with Mrs. Featherstone. Her place would be booked solid by now.
It is a shame that the unscrupulous Mr. Akbar had to terrorize your friend, Mrs. Slocombe. I think I left my address book somewhere in the department ...
