Mouzon. The witness is lying, or he's mistaken.

Bunerat. A witness who saw gipsies leaving the victim's house that morning.

Mouzon. I'm certain of it.

Bunerat. Why?

Mouzon. Because I'm certain the murderer wasn't a gipsy.

Vagret. But explain—

Mouzon. It's of no use, my dear friend. I know my duty to my colleague Delorme too well to insist. I've said too much already.

Vagret. Not at all.
