The Commissary.
No, sir.
John.
In a case like this the intention is enough.
The Commissary.
We are not here to judge according to intentions, but to state according to facts.
JOHN (picking up Lionnette's veils).
What more do you require than this triple veil, which proves that my wife has come here concealing her face, as I saw, in short, for I followed her? A strange manner to enter her own house, since she maintains it to be her's. (Pointing to Lionnette.) Look at this, sir; what more do you require?
The Commissary.
Be as calm as possible, sir; the law will do its duty, however painful it may be. (He dictates.) Still, the attitude and bearing of the Lady de Hun, at the moment of our entrance, was at least suspicious. Her hair was half falling on her shoulders.
