Sergeant Howie: I understand that you take the harvest festival photographs every year, the ones I saw in the Green Man.
T.H. Lennox: Uh, yes. It's rather humdrum work, I'm afraid.
Sergeant Howie: Do you know what happened to last year's photograph?

T.H. Lennox: Oh, what a pity.
Sergeant Howie: Would you have a copy of it?
T.H. Lennox: Oh, no, I don't keep copies.
Sergeant Howie: Mr. Lennox, you were among the people to whom I showed the photograph in the Green Man.
