Mr. H. Well, constable, did you see the woman take the loaves?
Potlegoff. Yes, sir.
Mr. H. How did she take them?
Pot. Off the counter, sir.
Mr. H. Did she go into the shop to take them?
Pot. Yes, sir. (Aside: I thought I was to say into three shops.)
Mr. H. One after another?
Pot. Yes, out of one shop one after another. (Aside: Now it’s right, I hope.)
Mr. H. (Aside: Confound him, he’s contradicting the other!) (To Pot.) Yes, just so; one after the other. And did you see the second loaf tumble down?
Pot. Yes, sir.
