[last lines]

DCI John Barnaby:
In a way, you know, this was all your fault.

DS Ben Jones:
How?

DCI John Barnaby:
I picked up my ring during my lunch hour.

DS Ben Jones:
Yeah?

DCI John Barnaby:
So, I was admiring the ring in one hand, and I had my sandwich in the other hand, and Sykes at my feet.

DS Ben Jones:
How was that my fault?

DCI John Barnaby:
Because that was the moment that *you* phoned my up. And somehow in the confusion I fed the rest of my sandwich and the ring to the dog. [Jones starts to laugh] We're not that off duty, Jones.

DS Ben Jones:
Look, nature took it's course; there's no harm done.

DCI John Barnaby:
And no-one need ever be any the wiser.

DS Ben Jones:
Okay.
