• Blanche Copley-Barnes : [after identifying her husband's umbrella]  Well, do we make the proverbial noises now?

  Chief Inspector Morse : I'm sorry?

  Blanche Copley-Barnes : Well aren't we supposed to say "would you like a drink?" so you can say "not while I'm on duty" then I provide tea instead?

  Detective Sergeant Lewis : Tea would go down nicely...

  Chief Inspector Morse : [interrupting Lewis abruptly]  We don't have time, I'm afraid.

• Blanche Copley-Barnes : [to Morse]  Do you dibble and hoe, Chief Inspector?

• Blanche Copley-Barnes : The snakeskin came from Camden.

  Detective Sergeant Lewis : Snakeskin?

  Blanche Copley-Barnes : The dried skin of an adder. Shrivelled. I went quite dippy for a moment when I saw it.
