"Then how did you find her?"
"I believe she has told you."
"She has given me Merivale's version. I want yours."
"I don't know."
"How did you start?"
"She's told you. I walked out of the house, and went on till I found her."
"How did you know where to look?"
"I didn't."
"It was pure coincidence that you should walk some thirty miles, passing thousands of houses, and walk straight to the right house—a house you didn't know, a house standing away from any main road? This was pure coincidence?"
"I knew she was there."
