Sheena:
All right, why would you deliberately switch around a couple of hi-fi speakers?

Madeline Magellan:
That's the question.

Jonathan Creek:
That's not the question.

Sheena:
What d'you mean?

Jonathan Creek:
Fairly obviously you wouldn't.

Sheena:
So, what's the point?

Jonathan Creek:
None whatsoever I should think.

Sheena:
All right, you've lost me.

Madeline Magellan:
I think he's saying it could be accidental.

Jonathan Creek:
Consider this way round... someone comes in to Pilgrim's house, and for whatever reason removes a pair of identical-looking speakers from the White Room. They return them, and because they look the same, they put them back the wrong way round.

Sheena:
But who'd steal a pair of speakers and then just put them back again?

Jonathan Creek:
A very honest burglar.
