OFFICER
I have seen that gentleman hold up his hand at a criminal bar.
JUSTICE
Ha!
MISS FLYN (Aside.) Better and better.
OFFICER My eyes cannot deceive me. His lips quivered about, while he was being tried, just as they do now. His name is not Pendulous.
MISS FLYN
Excellent!
OFFICER
He pleaded to the name of Thomson at York assizes.
JUSTICE
Can this be true?
MISS FLYN
I could kiss the fellow!
OFFICER
He was had up for a footpad.
