The Dreaded Lurgy* - A Little Drabble Do ya! - 26th July

As soon as the elevator doors opened, onto the floor which housed Section 7, Napoleon could hear the sounds of illness. From behind every door he passed he heard coughing, sneezing, and nose blowing. He pulled his handkerchief from his pocket and covered his mouth and nose. Before he reached the room he was headed for, Amanda Serrell opened the door and waved him back.

“I need a cover story arranging for an assignment,” Napoleon told her.

“If I were you, I’d call from your office,” she replied. “You don’t want to spend too much time around here.”

“Illya’s in our office, in a similar state of health,” he complained.

“Typhoid Mary you mean.”

“Pardon?”

“That partner of yours gave his cold to at least three of the women in this department,” Amanda explained.

Napoleon headed back up to his office wondering how many dates Illya had been on recently.



*Lurgy -A British Term meaning an illness or disease, especially one that is not serious:

He did well getting across the Atlantic to pass it to me :-)

I'm still feeling Icky, but I think it'll start clearing up soon.

Well thought and well written. We can only hope some Thrush caught it, too. It might even start a few of their mad scientists working on the cure to the lurgy.

Thank you :-)
I'm sure Illya sneezed on as many of the enemy as possible.

I see you've been inspired by all of our miseries. Well, if it's Illya who's given it to me then I might be slightly less pouty about it.

Given we were struck down at around the same time, and Illya is a common factor to all of us, it must have been him :-D
