Q. And have you ever seen others like it?
A. Yes, sir, three, but not in this city.
Q. And where did you get the pattern?
A. From a friend in Philadelphia.
Q. Now, if you have seen other mats like this, how do you know, of your own knowledge, that this is not some other lady’s work?
A. I know it is my work because the centre portion of the mat was left plain, which centre is exactly the size of the base of my statuette.
Q. Is there any other reason which you can give?
A. I know it looks like my mat.
Q. Certainly, but would it not look like your mat if it had been wrought by another lady?
A. Perhaps so.
