“’Cause that’s what I’m mostly called.”
“Why?”
“’Cause I’m such a liar.”
“This is no time for frivolity, young man; remember you’re a witness.”
“Sure! I know what that means. I ain’t a goin’ to lie now, you bet! I know what I’m about.”
“Very well, then. What can you tell us of Mr. Trowbridge’s movements yesterday?”
“A whole heap. I was on the job all day.”
“What did you see or hear?”
“I seen and heard a whole lot. But I guess what’ll interest you most is a visitor Mr. Trowbridge had in the mornin’.”
