"Alone?"
"Faith, who would be likely to be with her, sorr?"
"Well, you said something about a gay incognito, did n't you?" suggested Moore.
"I niver did in me loife. I 'll have yez to understand, Misther Moore, I 'd scorn to use such profane langwidge. I 'm a dacent Catholic, as Father O'Houlihan will tell yez, if yez ask him."
"I 'll ask him the next time I see him," said Moore. "It is always best to be sure about these things. But go on, Mrs. Malone."
"Where was I?"
"You were locked up in the room with Jane Sweeny."
"I wuz not, sorr."
"I 'm sure it could n't have been with Sir Incognito," said Moore, shocked.
"If I wuz locked up wid Jane Sweeny how could I be here now?" demanded the landlady.
