:26:15
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
Clothing all screwed up...
:26:18
on the floor of the wardrobe.
:26:20
That's not like you, sir.
:26:22
Oh ! Here's an interesting monogram--
"I-W."
:26:29
Or have I-- Oh, I've got this the wrong way up.
:26:31
Aha. "M-T."
:26:36
Let me see that.
:26:43
"Made by owen and tan credy of Percy Street...
:26:46
for Mr. Milo Tindle, November 12."
:26:51
Tell me, sir, when Mr. Tindle
"lurched off," as you put it,
:26:55
did he lurch naked ?
:26:58
And did he subsequently lurch naked
through the streets of the village ?
:27:02
He changed back before he
left into these clothes.
:27:05
Do you still maintain, sir,
:27:07
that Mr. Tindle changed into the
clown's costume in the cellar ?
:27:10
- Yes !
- Another part...
:27:13
of the humiliation process, I suppose.
:27:16
Then someone must have carried his clothing...
:27:19
up from the cellar and
placed them in this wardrobe.
:27:22
- I did.
- Why ?
:27:24
Because I felt they'd be better off in
a wardrobe than in a dusty old cellar.
:27:28
More convenient.
:27:30
All screwed up on the floor
of a wardrobe ? Why ?
:27:32
I didn't think it'd be long before he'd
be changing back-- it's all so baffling.
:27:36
Not at all, sir.
:27:40
You threw those clothes on
the floor of the wardrobe...
:27:43
because you knew that Mr. Tindle would
not be needing them again... Ever !
:27:47
That's right, sir, isn't it ?
- He changed back before he left...
:27:51
and wore them when he went away !
:27:53
I think you started this...
:27:55
exactly as you say you did--
:27:58
as a game in order to play a
diabolical trick on Mr. Tindle--
