"But, there, Dr.Gaunt declares most positively--so did two other medical gentlemen--that the poor creatures had been dead hours when they was found.

Medical gentlemen are always very positive about their evidence.

They have to be--otherwise who'd believe 'em?

We all knew perfectly well the man we caught did it, but he was able to prove an alibi as to the time Dr.Gaunt said the poor soul was killed.".
