What I have wondered about even more, is why he would do the things he does with no curtains on the windows?
Everybody sing:
"Now, there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he's asked me for a date.
And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away.
And Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
And shouldn't widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down?"
Feeling a bit too caffeinated at the moment
Anyhow, I would think that having been burnt several times now and in several different time periods, the man would invest in some new windows that were better glazed so that people standing five feet away from them outdoors couldn't hear conversations with ringing clarity. And maybe some locks for said windows and the doors. And then maybe for the cellar. And heck, maybe he could spend five minutes instructing his caretakers to
lock everything up.
But heck, why go to that kind of trouble when you could just kill anyone who gets in where they shouldn't be?
