:23:00
You say that Mr. Tindle
disguised himself as a clown.
:23:04
I saw no such costume in that basket !
:23:08
Nor have you pointed out...
:23:10
that mound of earth in the garden,
have you, sir ?
:23:12
Mound of earth ?
:23:17
What mound of earth ?
:23:19
That one over by the far wall...
:23:22
in the shade of that cedar tree.
:23:24
- I can't see anything.
- Well, it's there, all right.
:23:28
I saw it before I rang your bell.
:23:32
I think we'd better go and have a look at it.
:23:47
Together, sir.
:24:08
Here we are, sir. Now,
:24:11
would you say that had
been freshly dug, sir ?
:24:14
How do I know ?
:24:16
Probably something that the
gardener's been doing. Ask him.
:24:18
You'll find him somewhere, maundering about,
:24:20
aching for an opportunity to slander
his employer-- they all do.
:24:24
All for my part, I've always found...
:24:26
that gardeners make excellent witnesses.
:24:29
They're slow, they're methodical,
and they're positive.
:24:32
Inspector, I've had just about
enough of this farce.
:24:36
Do you really think I'd be fool enough
to bury Tindle out here in the garden...
:24:40
leaving all that newly-turned
earth for everyone to find ?
:24:43
If you weren't expecting us, sir, yes.
:24:45
In a couple of weeks, with a little
grass seed or a few bulbs,
:24:50
it'd be very difficult to tell
it had ever been disturbed.
:24:53
We in the Police force know just how fond...
:24:56
murderers are of their backyards, sir.
:24:59
One's as near a murderer's heart in
a garden as anywhere else on earth,
