Miss Joyce: Do you hear that? A stranger! Did you see e’er a stranger in this town, Mrs. Delane, or Sergeant Carden, or Mr. Quirke?
Mr. Quirke: Not a one.
Sergeant: There was no stranger here.
Mrs. Delane: There could not be one here without me knowing it.
Fardy: I tell you there was.
Miss Joyce: Come on, then, and tell who was he to his Reverence.
Sergeant: (Taking other arm.) Or to the bench.
Fardy: I did get it, I tell you, from a stranger.
Sergeant: Where is he, so?
Fardy: He’s in some place—not far away.
