“Very good; who were present and heard it?”
“Well, David Brown was there for one. No, he wasn’t, either. He’d gone home. There wasn’t anybody there except my grandson, Dannie, and that fool that was just on the witness stand.”
“Gabriel?”
“Yes, Gabriel.”
“Where did he go then?”
“He went to bed.”
“Where did you go?”
“I went to bed.”
“And the boy?”
“Why, we all went to bed. It was after ten o’clock. Do you s’pose we sit up all night down at the gap?”
