Sir Humphrey

Oh, Frank.

FGSir Frank Gordon

Yes?

Sir Humphrey

Good meeting with the PM?

FSir Frank

Yes, very good.

Sir Humphrey

Good. Any particular subject come up?

FSir Frank

Any particular subject you're interested in?

Sir Humphrey

No, not particularly. He didn't raise the issue of service appointments and so on?

FSir Frank

It may have cropped up.

Sir Humphrey

Did he foreshadow any redistribution of responsibility?

FSir Frank

Shall we say it was a wide-ranging discussion.

Sir Humphrey

Did it move towards any conclusion?

FSir Frank

There were arguments on both sides.

Sir Humphrey

Evenly balanced?

FSir Frank

Perhaps tending slightly more one way than the other.

Sir Humphrey

But nothing to worry about?

FSir Frank

Nothing for me to worry about. See you this afternoon.
