"Do you know who did turn the things out?" I said.
"Do you?" he asked.
I nodded. "It wasn't you, and I didn't think you knew anything about it. Suspicions go for nothing, you know."
"Well, let this pass. It's over now, and let's drop it."

"Oh, the Doctor be hanged! Why didn't you go to Tom and tell him the fix you was in? I suppose you knew he did it?"
