You can see the late Mister Butterworth once of
the Royal Navy, in the photograph on the mantelpiece at Mrs. Butterworth's left
elbow. But what’s that? It looks as though the Prisoner is having a quick
measure up, to see if the measurements check out with the size of room he once
knew! Obviously it’s not enough for him to simply remember the damp patch
behind the bureau, which was made good about twelve months ago. Along with the opening
of the bathroom door which slides to the left, not to mention the hot and cold
taps of the shower, which had been put on the wrong way round. But to take
measurements of the study, well that’s a bit extreme I should have thought! And
judging by the expression on Mrs. Butterworth’s face, she seems very put out
about! But that’s the Prisoner for you, give him an inch and he’ll take a foot!
Be seeing you
