Whitworth. I am doing my duty, young woman. And yours is to tell the whole truth, and not a part only.
Mercy (acquiescing). That is true, sir.
Whitworth. Why, what is this? 'T is not Mr. Gaunt you advertise for in these papers. 'T is Thomas Leicester.
Judge. What is that? I don't understand.
Judge. Let me see the papers. 'T is Thomas Leicester sure enough.
Whitworth. And you mean to swear that Griffith Gaunt answered an advertisement inviting Thomas Leicester?
Mercy. I do. Thomas Leicester was the name he went by in our part.
Whitworth. What? what? You are jesting.
Mercy. Is this a place or a time for jesting? I say he called himself Thomas Leicester.
