Then, as to the circumstances, they will all bear me out.

We were known to have been at Wimbledon on the day in question.

We were known to have had an interview with Lady Exeter, at which Lord Roos and Diego were present.

The interview was private, and therefore no one can tell what took place at it; but the probabilities are that what I shall assert really did occur." Sir Thomas signified his assent, and she went on.
"The plot is well contrived, and, with prudent management, cannot fail of success.

We have the time of the supposed occurrence--the actors in it--and the scene--for I shall describe the particular room in which the interview really did take place, and I shall further bring forward Sarah Swarton, who will declare that she was concealed behind the hangings, and heard the Countess read over the confession before she signed it." "Another party to the affair--and a woman!" ejaculated Sir Thomas.
