HNBC p52 6 dialogue Holmes

John Holmes invites an officer inside and explains that he was home all evening except for a quick trip to the post office. The caretaker greeted him when he left. Good evening, officer. Yes, that's right, John Holmes. Won't you come in? Yes, of course. Won't you sit down? Yes, Sergeant, I was actually. I wasn't feeling very well. Er, yes. My wife had gone to the cinema with a friend. No, I stayed in all evening. That is, except for a few minutes when I popped out to post a letter. Yes, it was about half past eight. No, I don't think so. Oh, yes, just a minute. The caretaker said good evening. Yes.
