“The testimony, that is, of those most interested in the result—whose very case is a confession of felony!”

“A confession, if you will, that my own aunt was the nurse that carried me away—of which there are proofs.”

“Has any one seen those proofs?”

“My father has seen them, lady Ann.”

“You mean sir Wilton?”

“I do. He accepted them.”

“Has he left any document to that effect?”

“Not that I know of.”

“Who presented those proofs, as you call them?”

“I told sir Wilton where they had been hidden, and together we found them.”
