“For the morning or afternoon?” Alan asked.
“Both,” said O’Kane.
“Do you mind?” Alan asked Hemingway.
“I guess not,” said the ex-milliner. “There aren’t many women nudists, are there?”
“None,” said Morton, “They’ve got more sense.”
“Think of it as a development opportunity,” said O’Kane.
“And as an excuse to closely scrutinise the local talent,” Morton added.
“Disgusting,” said Trevithick.
“I’ll send you the forms to photocopy,” said Alan.
“Thank God that’s settled,” said O’Kane.
Alan quickly dispensed with the remaining matters for discussion – the cancellation of the branch Christmas party and the planning day.
“They’ll soon be referring to Miserable as the German Canceller,” said Morton.
“It’s unfortunate,” said Alan, not responding to Morton’s quip, “but understandable.”
Trevithick inquired whether the section’s Christmas party was also going to be cancelled.
“I think it’s more important than ever that we get together to celebrate our achievements,” said Alan.
Morton snorted but everyone else seemed to Alan to be reassured that at least something they’d planned to do would still be happening.
