“How much time, would you say, would have to elapse in this case,” Sampson asked sarcastically, “before Mrs. Breel would recover her memory?”
“I don’t know,” Dr. Gifford said. “It depends upon a variety of factors which are outside of my consideration.”
“I’ll say it does,” Sampson said disgustedly.
Mason said, “Let me ask you, Dr. Gifford, is there anything particularly unusual in this lapse of memory in connection with a concussion history such as we have in the present case?”
“Nothing whatever,” Dr. Gifford said.
Sampson pulled the knitting from the bag. “Look here, Mrs. Breel,” he said. “Can’t you recognize your own knitting?”
She said, “May I see it, please?”
Sampson extended it to her. She looked it over critically and said, “Rather a nice job of knitting. Whoever did this was very expert.”
“You knit, don’t you?” Sampson asked.
“Yes.”
