Mr. Pallaret: "Let the man seated next to Dr. Pye stand up."
With evident reluctance, and vainly endeavouring to conceal his agitation, Dr. Vinsen stood up.
"Is that Dr. Vinsen?"
"Yes, sir, that is the gentleman."
"But Dr. Pye, his intimate friend, declares he is not Dr. Vinsen?"
"I can't help that, sir. He is Dr. Vinsen."
"You swear it?"
"I swear it, sir."
"Is there the slightest doubt in your mind?"
"Not the slightest, sir."
