"But if anyone asked you to go on to the witness stand and swear that Prince Ugo tried to take the life of Philip Quentin, could you do so?" he persisted. "You goose, I was not an eye-witness. How could I swear to such a thing?" "Well, if I understand the situation correctly, Miss Garrison is the judge, Ravorelli the accused, and you are one of the witnesses.
She assured her ladyship that she was making no mistake in marrying Prince Ravorelli, and, if she were, she alone would suffer. "I am so furious with her, Bob, for marrying Prince Ugo that I am not going to the wedding," said Lady Saxondale. "Whew! That's a bracer! But, by the way, my dear, did you introduce any real proof that he is the scoundrel you say he is?
