“What’s he
up to with that clock? It’s a bomb! That’s
it, it must be a bomb!”
{Number 2 - Hammer Into Anvil}
Of course
it wasn’t a bomb, but it wasn’t the first time that it was suggested that
Number 6 might have a bomb. Number 2 in ‘Dance of the Dead’ told the doctor
that she would warn him the moment Number 6 puts a bomb in his lovely hospital!
But all it was, was a cuckoo clock, plain and simple, and just another act of
Jamming on Number 6’s part. When Number 6 went to buy a notebook, and saw the display
of Cuckoo clocks, not that he was interested in the actual Cuckoo clocks
themselves, nor was he looking for a particular one, but it did give him an
idea. It was the Shopkeeper who thought Number 6 was looking for a specific
one, but was wrong about that. Number’s 6 eye was caught by a distinct box, one
with a hinged lid which he could use as a trap, and which he later baited with
the remnants of a ham sandwich. Do country pigeons like ham sandwiches? Mind
you, I bet that pigeon would have been burned to a crisp had the Supervisor-Number
60 been able to activate and fire the beam at maximum strength. Instead of minimum
strength, which merely stunned the pigeon.
Be seeing you
