_Strong_. I saw it.

_Mr. H_. Tell us what you saw.

_Strong_, (_very slowly and stolidly, and as if repeating a lesson_). I
saw her steal them all--all--all from one shop--from three shops--I
followed her--I took her. When she took it up--she let it drop--in the
shop--and wiped the street mud off it. Then she dropped them all three
in the shop--and came out--and I took her--with the help--of the two
constables--and she cried.

_Mr. H_. You may go (_Aside_: for a new-caught joskin and a fool!). I
won't ask him any questions.

_J. N_. (_waking up, and languid_). Do you call any other witnesses, Mr.
Hungary?

_Mr. H_. No, my lord. (_Aside_: Not if I know it, considering the
quality of the evidence. Not that it much matters; the Judge is going to
get a conviction; the Jury will do as he tells them--always do.) (_To
the Court_): My lord and gentlemen of the Jury, that's my case.

_J. N_. Well, my good woman, what have you to say to this?

_Mary Pinch_. Say to it! What's the use of _saying_ anything to it? I'd
_do_ to it, if I could.

_J. N_. Woman! what do you mean? Violence will not do here. Have you
witnesses to call?
