[discussing the German signs]
Mrs. Slocombe : One dear old lady customer of mine got a terrible shock. She was caught short and walked straight through the door marked "Herren".
Captain Peacock : You should have directed her to the door marked "Damen".
Mrs. Slocombe : I didn't have time. She saw the word "Her" and was off!
Mr. Grainger : And I'm here to tell you that she won't make the same mistake again.
