[a Post Office counter window with "Telegram Enquiries" over the top, seen through an ornate vignette. The clerk is behind the counter and Mr. Peepee enters. They speak very stiltedly]

Mr. Peepee:
I've come for some free repetition of doubtful words on an inland telegram.

Clerk:
Have you got the telegram in question?

Mr. Peepee:
I have the very thing here.

Clerk:
Well, slip it to me my good chap and let me eye the contents.

Mr. Peepee:
At once, Mr Telegram Enquiry Man.

Clerk:
[taking the telegram and opening it] Thank you Mr Customer Man. Aha! "Parling I glove you. Clease clome at bronce, your troving swife, Pat." Which was the word you wanted checking?

Mr. Peepee:
Pat.

Clerk:
Pat?

Mr. Peepee:
My wife's name is not Pat at all.

Clerk:
No?

Mr. Peepee:
It's Bat. With a B.

Clerk:
And therefore I will take a quick look in the book.

[Caption:
One Quick Look in the Book Later]

Clerk:
You're quite right, old cock. There *has* been a mistake.

Mr. Peepee:
I thought as much. What really does it say?

Clerk:
It say "Go away you silly little bleeder. I am having another man. Love, Bat". Quite some error.

Mr. Peepee:
Yes. She wouldn't call herself Pat, it's silly.

Clerk:
Daft, I call it.

Mr. Peepee:
Well it has been a pleasure working with you.

Clerk:
For me also it has been a pleasure. [to camera] And that concludes our little skit.

[the two men slightly hold a final pose, with string quartet music playing. Camera pulls back to reveal a string quartet playing the music]
