“Walk up fast, ‘pet.’ I am going to fill the order to a minute, and I will sure be proud to see him leaving me alone for a while. Here we are. Get in gently, ‘pet.’ I’ll be closing the door aisy, to not shock you. Now I must be bating it back to the office to get the other man.”
“Well, Pearson, ‘murder will out.’”
“I have not murdered anyone, and why should you talk to me in that way?”
“I don’t think that your brother has, either.”

“We have the same name. Is that any reason why we should be brothers?”
“Not because you have the same name, no; but in this case the two men who bear the same name are brothers.”
“Tell me, why am I to be placed behind the bars?”
“So that you may not kill your brother.”
