“So far as you dictated, General, I have.”
“Have you written down the date?”
“Not yet, General.”

“Have you a witness at hand? If not, I can bring in my footman.”
“You need not do that, General. My clerk will do for one witness.”
“Oh! it wants two, does it?”
“That is the law, General; but I myself can be the second.”
