Strickland. No, I didn't. [A good deal startled, he looks at her as if he were about to ask, "How did you know that?" She returns his gaze unflinchingly. The question remains unasked. But a sudden thought strikes him.] What name did you give?
The Girl. Stevens, sir.
Strickland [thunderstruck]. Stevens?
The Girl. Alfred Stevens.
Strickland [gasping]. What made you choose that name?
The Girl. I don't know, sir.
Strickland. You don't know?
The Girl. No, sir. It was just the first name that popped into my head. I said "Stevens," and when the clerk asked for the first name, I said "Alfred."
Strickland [after a pause]. Have you ever known anybody of that name?
The Girl. No, sir.
