"Yes," he said.
"I thought so," said Felgate.

"Why could you not say that before, Mr Simple ?" And Simson descended from his perch amid laughter and jeers, not quite sure whether he had not committed a crime beside which the offence of the prisoner at the bar was a trifle.
"Call William Tomkins," said Barnworth.
William Tomkins was called, and Dig, with his tawny mane more than usually dishevelled, and an excited look on his face, entered the box.
He glared round him defiantly, and then dug his hands into his pockets and waited for his questions.
"Your name is William Tomkins ?" began Barnworth.
"Sir William Tomkins, Baronet," said the witness, amidst laughter.
"To be sure, I beg your pardon, Sir William.

And what are you, pray ?" "A baronet." (Loud laughter.) "A baronet in reduced circumstances, I fear.

You work in the boiler department of this factory ?" "All right, go on." Here the judge interposed.
"The witness must remember that he is bound to answer questions properly.

Unless he does so I shall order him to be removed." This somewhat damped the defiant tone of Digby, and he answered the further questions of counsel rather more amiably.
