Constable Henry Higgins:
You can have Hendrickson; he lives almost ten miles out of town

Constable George Crabtree:
Oh, I'm aware of that.

Constable Henry Higgins:
Then why would you volunteer?

Constable George Crabtree:
Because he lives right next to Mrs. Hempshire's Finishing School.

Constable Henry Higgins:
Mary Lawrence went there.

Constable George Crabtree:
Did she?

Constable Henry Higgins:
For a time. She left; she said the women there were of easy virtue.

Constable George Crabtree:
Oh, indeed? And if I recall correctly, today's laundry day. I remember once Jackson and I had to reprimand a couple of them for wandering around in their unmentionables.

Constable Henry Higgins:
Did you?

Constable George Crabtree:
Yes, and they were from France. The, the unmentionables, Parisian undergarments.

Constable Henry Higgins:
Well, allow me to save you the trip.

Constable George Crabtree:
Hmh?

Constable Henry Higgins:
I could use a brisk bicycle ride.

[Higgins leaves]

Mark Twain:
It's a shame... you don't have a fence that needs paintin'.

Constable George Crabtree:
That was last summer, sir.
