Sir, I do believe you have something of mine, and I would very much like it back.
I know not of what you speak! You are clearly mad, dear sir, now release me!
Certainly not! If my memory does serve me, and surely it does, you, as of five minutes
ago, attempted to finagle your fingers into my pocket and grab the spare guinea from among
my pocket lint!
Hogwash! Certain hogwash! I was doing no such thing! I was only admiring those motorized
rollinghams when my finger happened to graze across your left buttock.
That was no graze, my dear fellow! No, no, that was most certainly a finger of inquiry
searching for my last coin. You are a thief, sir, and I shall report you to the constable,
who is my dear friend and cousin!
Aha! That is where you are wrong, my modest friend! For, you see, I am the constable!
[GASPS]
Yes! That is right! It was me all this time, Reginald, and I hope you will know better
than to attempt to steal from others again.
But, but you were the one with your finger in my pocket.
Was it in your pocket, or was it searching another crevice?
[AWKWARD SILENCE.]
