[After a short pause.] Was she able to say anything?
Alec.
She accused you of having shot her.
George.

Alec.
It appears that you were playing the fool with her, and when she got angry you took out a revolver and fired point blank. Presumably that she should tell no tales.
George.
It's a stupid lie. You know what they are. It's just like them to tell an absurd lie like that. You wouldn't believe a parcel of niggers rather than me, would you? After all, my word's worth more than theirs.
Alec.
