Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker mockingly exaggerates a supposed secret, picturing Lister in private wearing a bushy strap-on tail and calling himself Nutkin. The rapid-fire questions ridicule the idea with theatrical disbelief, treating the imagined squirrel persona as both absurd and faintly scandalous.
