I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said,'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.' 'So do I,'answered the policeman in the same tone. 'Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?' 'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see, I've forgotten my key.' 'Your what ?' he called. 'My key,' I shouted.' Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
