Up the Junction!

To: Marjorie Bathsheba Catheter Jodrell-Bentley

Subject: Difficult Times

Bathsheba,

A two-pronged assault would be the best method I think. A team of two should probably enter via the premises at Regis House, and another two should head in via the tunnel from Borough.

This does have the benefit of a certain amount of discretion compared to last night’s assault én mass – I don’t think we really need any more attention.

There is also the fact that many of my ladies are a little fragile after yesterday’s events and are refusing to leave their firesides for even a spot of light cribbage. I’m sure many of your members feel the same.

As for those tasked with this mission I think it would be wise for the two of us to go along with, I’m afraid to say, Miss Twigham and Ms. Zimmer as these are probably the two people Aunt Enid trusts the most.

As I’m sure you can imagine, I say this with many misgivings, but I fear we have little choice. I’m sure between us, however, we can rally enough Dunkirk Spirit for this venture.

We shall meet at London Bridge at sunset!

Top Tip!

  • Alternative Medicine

    Miss Havelock considers that as far as alternative medicines go, Gin is most efficacious as a local anaesthetic and sterilising agent when taken internally. If applied in sufficient quantity you won’t feel a thing for hours (or, for the adventurous, the whole of 1974).
