[00:00.49]It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home.
[00:05.30]I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep,
[00:11.65]so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.
[00:21.55]I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, 'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.'
[00:32.86]I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman.
[00:38.07]I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
[00:47.73]'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone. 'Excuse my interrupting you.
[00:55.96]I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?
[01:04.90]'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see. I've forgotten my key.'
[01:12.53]'Your what?' he called.
[01:16.37]'My key,' I shouted.
[01:20.89]Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
