See that the back door and the front door are locked while I slip into my hunchback disguise.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker pairs an instruction to secure both doors with an announcement about changing into a particular disguise. The combination gives an ordinary practical order an eccentric purpose. One reading finds humour in the matter-of-fact way the unusual costume is placed alongside routine precautions about the doors.
