'This is not a game. I'm not going to guess. You seem to take me for a child.'
'Well, you won't tell anybody, will you?'
'That depends. I'm not going to make any promises beforehand. I shall act on my own judgement.'
'Oh, you might promise. Well, I'll trust you.'
'Thanks! I should think so!'
'They met Hyacinth, walking with Cecil Reeve alone in a quiet part of the Gardens. They weren't walking.'
'Then why did you say they were?' asked Bruce severely.
'It's the same thing. They were sitting down.'
'How can it be the same thing?'
