[00:21.13]It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. [00:26.34]I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, [00:30.24]but she was fast asleep, [00:32.65]so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, [00:38.63]and began climbing towards the bedroom window. [00:43.76]I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said. [00:49.85]'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' [00:56.58]I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. [01:02.03]I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said,'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.' [01:12.60]'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone. [01:17.88]Excuse my interrupting you. [01:20.96]I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?' [01:31.36]'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. [01:36.10]'You see, I've forgotten my key.' [01:39.94]'Your what?' he called. [01:44.01]'My key,' I shouted. [01:49.01]Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
