Part 6
Hello, Ma'am! Are you tha madam of tha house?
Good Morning, Officer, er let me get a closer look at that badge, oh.. Pussnagel.
Sure is a fancy place ya got here. Some swell stuff sittin aroun, like that stachoo over there.
(Why is he so interested in that statue? Any fool could tell it's not the Oscat. But of course we're not dealing with just any fool here, are we. I mean, this is the Crown Prince!)
Oh, Officer Pussnagel, you do have exquisite taste in fine art.
Uh huh,
mighty nice establishmunt, I should say! How many workin girls ya got livin
here? Besides the ones that ain't workin right now, I mean...
(Uh oh, This one sounds like a candidate for the Martha Stewart routine.)
Well, Officer, I haven't counted them lately, you know these youngsters nowadays, just won't stay settled at one job very long. Umm, would you mind following me into the kitchen? I've got some fish jelly I'm busy preserving. I certainly wouldn't want it to boil over. Don't you just love the kitchen? It is my absolute favorite room in the house! (Ranks right up there with the laundry room for all-time fun.)
There now isn't this a lot more comfortable? Would you care for some refreshments? I could offer some milk, tea....
Hey! Have ya
got any cawfee? I ain't had a good cuppa Joe since--by tha way, you ain't
seen anythin of another pleece officer aroun lately have ya?
(Why do they suspect me? I mean, all appearances aside, do I look like a tom-eater?)
Well, as a matter of fact there was an Officer....here's your coffee. Would you care for a bite to eat with that?
Oh,
if ya got a cuppla donuts, ya know tha kind with jelly in tha middle--I
like sammon jelly if ya reely wanta know--yeah, he disappeared about two or
three days ago, give or take one--name's Leopod. Wears a custom made helmut
tha queen had made for him..mind if I sit down fer a minnit? The old
roomatiz is startin ta bother me...too much poundin a beat...
(Too many salmon jelly donuts and and not enough pounding the beat if you ask my opinion.)
Leopod, the name does ring a bell. Hmmm.... (Those beautiful green eyes. Where is he?)
..about that
missin Oscat statchoo now...yowzah! That's some cawfee! What're them little
brown things floatin on it...kinda looks like...
It's dried catnip...Sort of adds a little kick, don't you think?
Wow! Sammon jelly! Didja
make it yerself, it's sorta like my maw useta...
You mean from scratch? Of course they're from scratch. Things always taste so much fresher when they're from scratch.
(Everything starts as scratch from somewhere. I just don't need to tell him that SARA LEE was the one who started them.)
....can I take off my jacket?
It's kinda warm in here...
(Great! That's all I need - a purrrlice officer camped out in my kitchen. It could be worse, I suppose. I mean he could have a twin brother somewhere.....may as well pump him for information about that Oscat. Clues can come from the most unlikely sources.)
Why of course, Officer Pussnagel, make yourself at home. Now speaking of statoos.....
