Safe House

Gosh! I'm in the Witness Protection Program -- 1922 style. Inspector Dapperling has disguised me in some really ugly and uncomfortable 1922 "girl" clothes, planted me in a shabby hole on Baker Street, and forbidden me from leaving it under any circumstances.

"What am I supposed to do here all alone?" I whine.

"Read a book, take up knitting, sort some socks," he clips... quite callously, in my opinion.

"But, I don't--"

He leaves, slamming the door.

"--have any socks," I finish lamely, staring after him.

I glare at the locked door awhile, before declaring, "OK. If you're going to be like that!"

... and promptly crawl out of a window.
