Passage Ⅰ Questions 41-45 are based on the
following passage.
Police Officer Tidwell left the station just after 8
a.m. on Sunday, June 4. He had spent an uneventful
night on duty and was looking forward to his day of
rest. By habit he took a shortcut down the path behind
Digby Hall Road and after a minute or two he saw a man
climbing down a . Drain-pipe from an open bedroom
window of number 29. In silence Tidwell crept into the
garden. The man reached the ground and was dusting
himself down when he felt his arm gripped.
"It's 8.15 on a Sunday moming," said the
officer, "and this sort of thing seems an unlikely
adventure at such a time. Would you mind explaining?"
The man was obviously startied but kept calm. He
said, "I know what you're thinking, officer, but it
isn't true. This is a very funny mistake."
"It's part of my job to take an interest in unusual
events. I think you've just left this house in a manner
other than the customary one. That may be quite
innocent, but I'd like to make sure." Tidwell took out
his notebook and a pen. "Name, address and occupation
and then, please, tell me your story."
"Charlie Crane lorry driver, from Nottingham, 51
Brecon Street. My story. . ."
"Yes. What were you doing like a fly on that well.
Mr. Crane?"
"Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay
the night here. Bed and breakfast. The landlady's name
is Mrs. Fem. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was
out of here in the right way and down at the Lorry Park
by half past seven. It was only when I left around for
a cigarette I realised I'd left $80 in my pay envelope
under the pillow here at number 29. I always put it
under my pillow at night. It's a habit I've got into. I
even dO it at home. . ."
"I see. Why didn't you miss it when you went to pay
Mrs. What's-her-name?"
"I'd paid her last night. You've got to pay when
you take the room, see? So I came rushing back, but
it's Sunday, and she'd gone back to bed, and could I
wake her? I rang the bell and banged on the frond door
for ten minutes before I came round here to the back
and spotted my bedroom window still open. UP I went,
then up this pipe. It's a trick I learnt in the army.
She hadn't made the bed, and the money was still there.
You know the rest, and I hope you believe it
because . . ."
"Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing here? I thought
you had gone an hOur ago." It was Mrs. Fem, speaking
from the kitchen window at the corner of the house."
