Lesson92 Asking for trouble

It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home.

I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the door-bell,

but she was fast asleep,

so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden,

put it against the wall,

and began climbing towards the bedroom window.

I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said,

' I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.'

I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman.

I immediately regretted answering in the way I did,

but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'

'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone. 

'Excuse my interrupting you. 

I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, 

but would you mind coming with me to the station ?'

'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see, I've forgotten my key.'

'Your what ?' he called.

'My key,' I shouted.'

Fortunately,

the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
