Mrs. Slocombe : Captain Peacock! Captain Peacock!
Captain Peacock : Mrs. Slocombe, you will return to your post. When I turn around, you will raise your arm. I will ask, "What is, Mrs. Slocombe?" You will ask me, "Are you free?" If I nod, you may then approach me.

Mrs. Slocombe : Are you free, Captain Peacock?
Captain Peacock : [looks about him] At the moment.
