"After you locked the prisoner in her cell, what did you do?"
"I went back to the guard-room and sat by the fire, Sir."
"And fell asleep, I suppose?"
"I'll give in I slept a wink or two, Sir."
"Where were your keys while you were asleep?"
"On the table beside me, Sir."
"And when you awoke where were they?"
"In the same place, your Excellency."
"Were the gates of the Castle locked last night?"
"Aw, 'deed they were, Sir."
