"Take Lady Wharton's word for it. Her ladyship presented him. She said, 'Mr. Samuel Boyd, Catchpole Square.' I said, 'Ah.'"
"You conversed with him?"
"He conversed with me. Fifty words to my one."
"What was the subject of the conversation?"
"Money. Asked if I wanted it. I said every fellow wanted it. Said he would be happy to oblige. I said, 'Ah.'"
"When Lady Wharton returned did you remain with them?"
"At her request. Saw her give him jewels. Saw him give her packet. Saw her dismiss him. Glad to be rid of fellow."
"You went back to the house, and was present when she opened the packet?"
"Yes. Blank paper. Infernal scoundrel."
"Was information given to the police?"
