Mouzon. Excellent!

Officer. Five years ago he sold this vineyard.

Mouzon. So that for five years he has been paying an annuity to the victim, although the vineyard was no longer his property.

Officer. Yes, your worship.

Mouzon. Go on.

Officer. After his arrest people's tongues were loosened. His neighbors have been talking.

Mouzon. That's always the way.

Officer. I have heard a witness, the girl Gracieuse Mendione, to whom Etchepare used the words, "It is really too stupid to be forced to pay money to that old swine."

Mouzon. Wait a moment. You say the girl Gracieuse?

Officer. Mendione.
