She did, poor soul,
-
and I never saw her after.
-
But I can remember her now walking away down the street.
-
It was raining. No, not raining, more like drizzle.
-
And the gaslight seemed to catching the drop
-
so make a sort of halo around her.
-
A halo? Really?
-
You can laugh.
-
When did you hear she was dead?
-
Next day.
-
So I knew it was Bates.
-
When I heard the verdict, I thought he'd swing.
