A Visit from Miss Prothero sees a recently retired Mr Dodsworth bothered for afternoon coffee and cake by the office busybody Miss Prothero, as determined to pass on the news from the firm as he I to get rid of her. In Green Forms, two co-workers, Doris and Doreen, employ nearly every work avoidance technique in the book; debating the minutiae of their uneventful home lives, petty office politics and generally doing anything but attending to the form that seem to be the entire purpose of their hopelessly over staffed company.
