A/N: For P100 prompt 676: Discipline. Follows on from Waiting For The Surprise (and as this is #12, the series probably needs a name).


The ward ran to almost military precision in Lester’s considered opinion. Uniforms were spotless and properly pressed, shoes shiny enough to see your reflection. The bed made with hospital corners, the lockers neat and tidy.


The matron ran a tight ship and Lester knew he would have approved under any other circumstances. He might even have tried to recruit her.

But when all he wanted was to get out of bed, to exercise and build his strength, ready to face whatever chaos and disaster Helen’s plotting would bring…

He just wished she wasn’t quite such a stickler for the rules.

*g* There are times when even Lester has to toe the line.

*Lester grumbles*

He's all for other people toeing the line.

Thanks for reading.

Ops, no wonder Lester isn't happy *g*
But 'spotless uniforms'? 'Shiny shoes'?? Where is he exactly? I'm starting to get suspicious \0/

Not at all.

One of the previous drabbles was set in the 50-60? I think (not that it made the wordage) this is just a time matron's ruled the wards and discipline was strict re uniforms etc. At least, Lester hopes so ;)

Thanks for reading.
