Mr Prosser: But mr. dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months
Arthur: Oh yes well as soon as i heard you were going to tear down my house I went round to see them, yeterday afternoon. You hadnt exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean like actually telling anybody or anything.
Mr Prosser: But the plans were on display...
Arthur: On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them
Mr Prosser: Thats the display department
Arthur: With a flash light
Mr Prosser: Ah well the lights had probably gone
Arthur: So had the stairs
Mr Prosser: But look you found the notice didnt you?
Arthur: yes, yes i did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "BEWARE OF LEOPARD"
I love this book!!
