i really am an idiot sometimes , which may of course be completely obvious , but it still surprises me , as i realise that this man is a detective , a policeman , and , beyond the litany of crimes im supposed to have done , there is one which i actually appear to have done , and this is it , im on my own , facing a murder charge of a beautiful nurse , and my pleas of being a werewolf are quite unlikely to have a positive bearing on my conviction .
