“How long have you been on the road, sir?”
“Not over a quarter of an hour.”
“Have you been in the woods all the time?”
“Yes, walking steadily in this direction.”
“And could you manage to keep a straight course?”
“O, yes.”
“You didn’t walk along the cliff—did you, sir?”
“O, no.”
“I don’t see how you managed to go on straight when you were in the woods.”
