Witness: Yes. She said she was terrified at him; that he haunted her like a ghost, and that he made secret love to her.

Mr. Walters: And she didn’t like it?

Witness: She begged me to take care of her, and stay with her.

Mr. Walters: Did you promise to do so?

Witness: I said I would protect her.

Mr. Walters: Be very careful. If this man frightened her, would he not equally frighten you?

Witness: In no circumstances.

Mr. Walters: That is because you are a woman of daring?

Witness: I suppose so.

Mr. Walters: If you promised to shield and protect her, you did not content yourself with words. Did you take any action?
