to any of it except the dignity that l
won't do that"
"You are woman - you can't
help that"
you know what mean." she said
quietly. And you must understand
that have to do this the way | want
to do it."
How do you want to do it?"
She smiled. II want to sit there and
take everything they have to give me.
l want to do that because it really
doesn't matter now - what they do to
me. 1t was awful at first that they
didn't believe me - that they laughed.
But it isn't awful now" She smiled.
Il can almost laugh at them = be-
cause they are going to be so ponder
Gus - so heavy - so solemn about
proving something that isn't so. And
it is going to be so easy for them to do
it. know won't laugh because only
foolslaugh at things that are solemn"
Renee - let's have today" Mac
Ivers said, with none of this
She shook her head. mo. Arthur"
she said, before the three of us go any
further. we must understand each
other
MacIvers said. Stuart and l have
lived with this every hour for ten days.
Renee. We know it now. much better
than you know it. Please let's rest from
it today -"
mo. Arthur = not until you know
what is in my mind"
What is in your mind?"
Just nothingness about it," she
said quietly. because ! know will
be convicted. When you know things
like that, there is only nothingness
left"
Stuart was suddenly standing be-
fore her. II won't have you accepting
defeat this way" His voice was
strained with the fatigue of sleepless-
ness and his hands shook. There is
some damnable fiendish flaw in it all
- deliberately put there for US to
find. Something will clear this whole
thing up."
MacIvers stood up. Listen to me
- both of you. We have taken every
single item of information we have
and we have worked to find this flaw
Stuart talks of. We have made scale
model of Sanger's suite and walked
through the whole miserable business
with puppets. We've measured off my
studio and walked through the action
of it ourselves. We've made electrical
transcriptions of the conversation
that you gave to Stuart's stenographer
and we've run them off slowly and
endlessly. analyzing each small action
and word for the motive behind it.
And we've gotten nothing. There is no
flaw in the job Sanger did. He wanted
you sewn up tightly, Renee - so that
no one could ever break the threads"
Yes" she nodded. u know that.
think l knew it the moment he put
that gun into my hand"
Stuart said. stop it - both of you.
There's no sense talking like that"
"Why?" MacIvers looked at him.
"You know that it's true Face itr
That's what wanted to tell you,"
Renee said. when saw you last. But
l couldn't - in that place. Stuart,
you can't be my lawyer Please, Stuart
You're decent - you're fine. Stuart
i won't have you breaking your
heart against this thing. Please tell
me now that you will give it up ="
"I'll never give it up"
you will have to, she said quietly.
II won't have to, tell your
Steady" MacIvers took his arm.
He shook it free.
I'm going to get you complete
acquittal or 60 under"
Stuart" Renee said. please under
stand me. I'm not going to have you
for my lawyer"
"All right - all right" MacIvers
said. mo more words now"
