Mr. Chesterton: What is he?

Witness: A lawyer.

Mr. Chesterton: What sort of business does he carry on?

Mr. Walters: She doesn’t know.

Mr. Chesterton: I submit she knows nothing about Mr. Grewgious, and that she has not had correspondence with him.

Mr. Walters: The official record says she did know Mr. Grewgious, and saw him in his Chambers.

Mr. Chesterton: She might know Mr. Grewgious, but have no correspondence with him. I am asking what sort of business he carries on.

Witness: I know he is a lawyer.

Mr. Chesterton: And nothing more?

Witness: Women don’t interest themselves very much in these things.
