"One of 'em I did, but not the other. I guessed, though."
"We will make sure. Look around the court, and tell me whether you see the other man?"
Gracie's sharp eyes had lighted on Dr. Vinsen the moment she was in the witness-box, and they kindled when they rested on Dr. Pye, but with rare self-control she had restrained herself from crying out, the dramatic instinct within her assuring her that the right moment would come for denouncing him. Being now directed, it was her turn to ask a question.
Gracie: "Who is that next Dr. Vinsen?"
Mr. Pallaret, hesitating in his reply, some person called out, "It is Dr. Pye," whereupon an officer cried, "Order in the court!" But, irregular as was this proceeding, neither the counsel for the prosecution nor the magistrate intervened.
Gracie: "That is the other man."
Mr. Pallaret: "Take time. Look again. Be absolutely certain."
Gracie: "I am. The other man in Dr. Pye."
Mr. Pallaret: "Still you may be mistaken?"
Gracie: "I can't be. I'd pick him out of a thousand. There ain't another man in the world like him."
