| 0:00.0 | Chapter 29. Chief O'Malley came down the stairs from his second-floor bedroom carefully. |
| 0:07.6 | It was still hours before dawn, but he was certain that he heard something downstairs, |
| 0:12.5 | a small thump that could only have come from his small study. Now that he thought of it, he |
| 0:17.8 | wasn't entirely certain that he had heard it, but he knew that he was somehow certain that it had happened. |
| 0:24.7 | He had almost settled back to sleep, convinced that the cat must have knocked some of the books off the small shelf by the desk, |
| 0:30.7 | when he had noticed the feline in question, sleeping quite contentedly at the feet of Mrs. O'Malley to his left. |
| 0:36.8 | He had slipped from the comfort of his bed |

| 1:23.4 | trying to find his desk without barking his shins on it. |
| 1:27.5 | Having done so, he reached out carefully in the near total darkness for the electric lamp on his desk |
| 1:32.6 | and switched it on. His corner of the room was bathed in a glow that made him blink hard, |
| 1:39.3 | but left the rest of the room swathed in shadow. As his eyes adjusted, the first thing Chief O'Malley saw was a small |
| 1:46.5 | white globe resting on his desk near the lamp he had just illuminated. It took a moment for his |
| 1:52.1 | sleep-addled brain to realize it was the electric light bulb from the overhead light, which had |
