"Quite."
"Are you aware that Jim Baker thinks you killed him?"
"I am."
"And that Hugh Morice thinks so also?"
"I know he did think so; I fancy that now he has his doubts--at least, I hope he has."
"How do you explain the fact of two such very different men being under the same erroneous impression?"
"I can't explain it; I can explain nothing. I don't know if you are aware that until quite recently I thought it was Mr Morice himself who killed that man."
"What made you think that?"
