It's why I find it hard to believe Mr. Carny is a witch, after making several unforced errors at the very start of the day. There was literally no reason for him to stick his neck out in the most ungainful fashion.

I also find Pumpkin to be registering lower down my list because her purple statement was the first to mention a cynic, and is backed up by two other statements. Even if one of those statements is a lie, the other corroborates it.
