a former I may be the latter

deflector what does the deflector

deflect crime oh you mean a detective

oh no no Miss Lake of nothing so

plebeian you see a detective appears

after the crime is committed a deflector

appears before the crime is perpetrated

and deflects it

and the deflection is in direct ratio

with the Animus of the exciting body

simple I think I've answered that before

mm-hmm when you're wasting your time

young man because there's nothing on

this train to deflect apart me mr.

Murray you're wrong miss Ruth Carson is

Layton that's it mr. Murray would you

as a crime deflector I must naturally

give this object considerable thought

hey good deflection comes a clear

reflection my both your eyes are very

pretty the man who the man who lost this

cap is missing missing missing his cap I

lean to occasional witticisms he's a

train conductor in here no but his cap

just dropped in I dare say he'll blow in
