ANECDOTE
The story is told of a certain resident who had misbehaved to the extent that two constables came to his home to interview him. Seeing them coming and not wishing to be approached in this manner he eagerly looked for a hiding place. His wife thinking quickly opened the hatch in the kitchen floor and ushered him underneath, closed the hatch and pulled a mat over it, concealing all evidence. She chatted with the constables and said she didn’t know where her husband was. After a lengthy lull in the conversation the husband, hearing no voices thought they had left. Anxious
to get out. he lifted the hatch and asked - “Be they gone, Biddy?” Needless to say this was a stroke of luck for the constables.
