VIII
“Edward John Marshall, you lived for some years in Auckland, New Zealand, and now reside at14 Wren1 Street, Deptford?”
“That’s right.”
“Do you know Mary Draper?”
“I’ve known her for years in New Zealand.”
“Have you seen her today in court?”
“I have. She called herself Hopkins; but it was Mrs. Draper all right.”
The judge lifted his head. He spoke2 in a small, clear, penetrating3 voice:
“It is desirable, I think, that the witness Jessie Hopkins should be recalled.”
A pause, a murmur4.
“Your lordship, Jessie Hopkins left the court a few minutes ago.”
