«Reception? Can you send someone down to the linen closet? There's a bit of a tangle down here...».
Sergeant Penelope "Penny" Pringle, while waiting for hotel staff to come liberate her, was already mentally rehearsing her post-Operation Toothbrush report: "My unexpected neutralization by female enemy spy. Consequences: loss of my uniform. Probable consequences: Enemy spy infiltrated (wearing my uniform)".
In the report, Penny would, of course, omit the third part, the one that concerned her most directly: "Almost certain consequences: 30 days of barracks cleaning duty".
