HYACINTH. I know everything about it.
MR. QUIRKE. I suppose the sergeant told you?
HYACINTH. He told me nothing.
MR. QUIRKE. I suppose the whole town knows it, so?
HYACINTH. No one knows it, as yet.
MR. QUIRKE. And the sergeant didn't see it?
HYACINTH. No one saw it or brought it away but myself.
MR. QUIRKE. Where did you put it at all?
HYACINTH. In the ditch behind the church wall. In among the nettles it is. Look at the way they have me stung.
