The Telephonist - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - May 25th

*Ring ring*

“Kuryakin . . . No, Miss Evans, I don’t know where Napoleon is.”

Illya replaced the telephone receiver and returned to his report.

*Ring ring*

“Kuryakin . . . No, Miss Sheldon, Napoleon is not here.”

This time the receiver was slammed down.

*Ring ring*

“Kuryakin . . . All I can tell you, Miss Montgomery, is that Napoleon is here somewhere.”

*Slam*

*Ring ring*

“Kuryakin . . . I neither know nor care.”

*Slam*

Snatching up his typewriter, Illya stormed from the office, just as Napoleon entered.

“Going somewhere, Tovarisch?”

“Grand Central Terminal! There’ll be fewer interruptions!”

A neat little fic, and very believable.

Mind you, I'm sure Napoleon's taken a few messages in his time.

Thank you :-)
I'm sure he has, but he is a much more patient man.

Lucky he had the typewriter in his hands, or Napoleon would have been decked

There's still that possibility, especially if there's a typewriter involved...

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

He's lucky the typewriter wasn't thrown at him :-)

Ernestine Tomlin!

I had to look this up because it meant nothing to me. I'm glad I did as I found it very amusing.

I wondered if you'd recognize that line. Laugh-in is the show that replaced MFU, but it was huge. I suppose it was a precursor to Saturday Night Live, or an American version of Monty Python,

Is he steamed about the interruptions or that all those woman wanting Solo and not him?
Knowing IK, it's the interruptions. Good one!

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

I think he'd still be steamed if the women were wanting him :-) Glad you liked it.

Brilliant! But poor Illya. And I know just how he feels some days.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Me too. This was inspired by the constant interruptions I've been getting this week.
