“What did you say to Mr. Burgoyne when he forced his way into the library, Mr. Farwell?”
“I don’t remember.”
“You don’t remember that you said, ‘Keep your hands off me, Dick; after what I’ve done, there’s no way out but this’?”
“No, I don’t remember it, but I probably said it. I don’t remember what I said.”
“What explanation do you offer for that remark, Mr. Farwell?”
“I’m not offering any explanations; if I said it, I said it. What difference does it make what I meant?”
“It makes quite a difference, I assure you. You have no explanation to offer?”
“No.”
“Mr. Farwell, for the last time I ask you whether you were not at the gardener’s cottage at Orchards on the night of June nineteenth?”
“No.”
