You don't have to explain anything.
-
- Not to me. - But I want to.
-
You see...
-
My father owed Sir Richard Carlisle a lot of money.
-
Enough to bankrupt him.
-
And Sir Richard offered to waive the debt,
-
if you gave him the evidence of the ministers' guilt?
-
Papa was terrified
-
and I knew I could get into my uncle's office and find the proof.
-
What is it?
-
He threatened to tell you all about it
-
and now I've told you anyway.
