:18:01
- I believe so, sir.
- No ! I've told you everything that happened.
:18:05
Would you mind if I had a look around, sir ?
:18:07
Crawl about on all fours, if you like.
:18:08
Get out your envelope and imprison hairs.
:18:11
Gather ye blunt instruments while ye may.
:18:20
Now, I ask myself,
:18:22
if I wanted to conceal Tindle's body,
:18:24
where would I put it ?
:18:28
In my good friend Jolly Jack Tar, the sailor.
:18:50
Very amusing, sir.
:18:53
May I ask how you did that ?
:18:55
No. Jolly Jack and I have our little secret.
:18:58
Then may I ask how you made
those holes in the wall ?
:19:02
That one over there,
:19:04
and this one over here.
:19:08
- They look like bullet holes to me, sir.
- Quite right, Inspector.
:19:12
So they are.
:19:14
Oh, I understood you, sir,
:19:16
say that you used a blank.
:19:18
Two live bullets to set up the trick,
and one blank to complete it.
:19:22
I had to persuade Tindle I was in earnest.
:19:24
Oh, I see, sir. One blank.
:19:27
Then would you just show me please, sir,
where Mr. Tindle was when you killed him ?
:19:32
Pretended to kill him, you mean.
:19:34
Quite so. Then would you show me...
:19:38
exactly where he was when the bullet hit him.
:19:40
I keep telling you, it was not a real bullet !
:19:44
So you do, sir. So you do.
:19:46
Very well then. Where was he...
:19:48
when the blank cartridge was fired ?
:19:52
He was standing, or I should say kneeling,
:19:54
or more accurately cowering, here.
