Sergeant: That is likely indeed!
Hyacinth: Let him go, and take me. I tell you I did it.
Sergeant: It would take witnesses to prove that.
Hyacinth: (Pointing to Fardy.) He will be witness.
Fardy: O! Mr. Halvey, I would not wish to do that. Get me off and I will say nothing.
Hyacinth: Sure you must. You will be put on oath in the court.
Fardy: I will not! I will not! All the world knows I don’t understand the nature of an oath!
Mr. Quirke: (Coming forward.) Is it blind ye all are?
Mrs. Delane: What are you talking about?
Mr. Quirke: Is it fools ye all are?
