“Did you also recognize the coachman who struck you?”
“No.”
“Did you see him at all, so that you would have recognized him if you had seen him?”
“Sure, I saw him—quite well enough to know him again, the next time I see him.”
“And he was a stranger to you?”
“I do not remember that I ever saw him before.”
“Did she—did the woman, whom you believed to be Mercedes, say anything to him when you started toward the carriage?”
“Not a word.”
“Are you sure?”
“I am positive. Why?”
