“Your Honour, I ask to have that stricken from the record as deliberately unresponsive.”

“You were not asked as to Mrs. Ives’s thoughts, Miss Page. Mr. Lambert asked you whether any passer-by could not have heard Mrs. Ives’s conversation.”

“Anyone who passed over the route that I did could have heard it perfectly.”

“Mr. Patrick Ives could have heard it?”

“Mr. Patrick Ives was upstairs.”

“That was not my question. I asked you if Patrick Ives could not have heard it quite as readily as you?”

“He could, if he had been there.”

“Miss Page, will you be good enough to repeat that conversation for us once again?”

“The whole thing?”

“Certainly.”
