Mr. Walters: You thought you could manage?

Witness: I did.

Mr. Walters: How did you disguise yourself effectively?

Witness: I put on a large wig of white hair.

Mr. Walters: To conceal your own luxuriant tresses?

Witness: I bound them well down underneath.

Mr. Walters: What else?

Witness: I thought, in keeping with a large head of white hair, I had better assume the free and easy manners of an elderly man, and I tried to put a little dash of swagger, and I wore a blue coat and buff waistcoat.

Mr. Walters: It was not so difficult, after all, in some respects, for you are a rapid and fluent talker—you need not be shy, you are—and therefore, as Dick Datchery, the affable old gentleman, a bit garrulous, you did not find much difficulty?

Witness: No: I did not find it very difficult.
