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.”
