ROYCE. Did what?
OLIVER. Did it. Did Jenkins.
ROYCE. I don’t understand. Is there any doubt about it?
OLIVER. Well, that’s just it.... The fact is, I had a brain-wave at Bradford.
ROYCE. Oh?
OLIVER. Yes. Quite suddenly it flashed across me, and I said, “By Jove! Of course! That’s it!”
ROYCE. What’s what?
OLIVER. He never did it! He just imagined it! It was all—what was the word I used?
ROYCE. Hallucination?
OLIVER. Hallucination. (He nods) That’s the word. I wrote to Father last night. I said, “Hallucination.” You can back it both ways, Royce, and you won’t be far out.
