Prisoner (very civilly). You say you brought Thomas Leicester to my bedroom on that terrible night?
Ryder (civilly). Yes, madam.
Prisoner. And you say he stayed there half-an-hour?
Ryder. Yes, madam; he did.
Prisoner. May I inquire how you know he stayed just half-an-hour?
Ryder. My watch told me that, madam. I brought him to you at a quarter past eleven: and you did not ring for me till a quarter to twelve.
Prisoner. And, when I did ring for you, what then?
Ryder. I came and took the man away, by your orders.
Prisoner. At a quarter to twelve?
Ryder. At a quarter to twelve.
