“Do you know a dangerous Irishman, of the name of O’Neill, who has come, for purposes best known to himself, to settle at Hereford?”
“Yes, we know him well.”
“Indeed! And what do you know of him?”
“That he is a dangerous Irishman.”
“Right! And it was he, was it not, that pulled down, or caused to be pulled down, my rick of oak bark?”
“It was.”
“And who was it that made away with my dog Jowler, that used to guard the tan-yard?”
“It was the person that you suspect.”
“And was it the person whom I suspect that made the hole under the foundation of our cathedral?”
“The same, and no other.”
