gagged for this occasion, sat at the desk
in the corner.
Sir Roland began with a nice littk
speech, of course, which included we'll
chosen verse from Shakespeare, and con-
cluded with an earnest wish that everyone
might be found perfectly innocent OF the
shocking charge which had hen brought
forward. He then poured out a glass OF
water, took a sip, settled his glasses firm
ly on his nose, and! taking up my sheet
of questions, said:
