Richardson's View

[NotBlamedForNothing]

Baxter: When did you determine to cut something off your boot?
Richardson: I had cut some off the previous day, and it hurt my foot, and I found after I left the house that it wanted a bit more to be cut off. I looked to see if the cellar door was all right, and, although I did not go down into the yard, I could see that it was all right. I saw the padlock in its proper place. The sole object I had in going there was to see whether the cellar was all right. When I come home at night I go down and try if the cellar is all right.

Amelia Richardson's own room was on the first floor. She was perfectly mobile.

Why couldn't she check the cellar door padlock, especially in the mornings?

She certainly wakes early enough...

On Saturday morning I called Mr. Thomson at ten minutes or a quarter to four o'clock.

John was a tall, strong porter. Why was he required to do the checking?

Logic and Reason are noticeably absent here. Luckily there are some really funny folks. Usually unintentionally though.

Haven't we been through that? The donkey is in the backyard, not the driveway.

It is MWR who supposes the donkey and cart have left the scene.

Fanny Mortimer heard a cart and horse after 1am, Louis demonstrably did not arrive after 1...so, what cart and horse is it you suppose she heard? And since you like attribution references, where is it said the horse and cart were in the yard? Which would mean they were taken past the dying woman as she lay there.

We call those Joe Blakes in Oz.

Snib.

It may be a snib where you're from.
But it's a sneck where I'm from

[NotBlamedForNothing]

Yes, that's rights Abs. My other brilliant analyses are mostly textual, you see

[Abby Normal]

We know it's a joke - does everyone else?

And you know that 'song and dance' was actually a brilliant piece of analytical analysis.

analytical analysis. lol. brilliant!

Perhaps Entente is required.

[NotBlamedForNothing]

I thought that was kinda funny

[Al Bundy's Eyes]

Unfortunately he's been retired, due to ongoing problems with lameness

Way Hey!

You've got to have a sense of humour about these things.

[NotBlamedForNothing]

What's he racing under? Mr Whippys Myth or Louis Folly?

Come off it, you made a right old song and dance about that pony!

Anyway, it's a joke, lighten up.

(I reckon our Aussie friends must be about by now)
Ahem.

I wonder, if for reference purposes, perhaps one of our members has a picture of a horse?

He is having the day off and has gone to the Geelong Cup meeting.

Isn't this what you've been going on about for ages? The button on the lock that holds it closed or open? That's the sneck.

Snib.
