Rodriguez was no friend of yours, was he?
You can't bring him to life again, can you?
And what's your evidence?
A couple of marked coins?
Barring us few here, who knows of them?
Nobody.

Barring us few here, who knows a whisper beside, to connect Whitmore with the murder?
Nobody again.

Very well, then: you came here to-night to expose Whitmore as a false priest and a forger.

You took the villain on the hop, and he confessed: so the boy's evidence is not needed.
Having confessed, he made his escape.

You can say, if you will, that I helped him.
