Scott son the same unless the old

gentleman has been fooling me oh I

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

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
