"I see that you are accustomed to prepare your lies in advance, Mr. Woods. As an extemporaneous liar you are very clumsy. AH POOR LITTLE LADY OF ELFLAND POOR LITTLE UNDINE WITH HIS SOUL WAKENED TO SUFFERING CLUMSY VERY CLUMSY SHE REBUKED HIM I SEE THAT YOU ARE ACCUSTOMED TO PREPARE YOUR LIES IN ADVANCE MISTER WOODS AS AN EXTEMPORANEOUS LIAR YOU ARE VERY CLUMSY

Why, I hadn't ever seen that last will, Peggy! It was locked up in that centre place in the desk, you remember. Why--why, you yourself had the keys to it, Peggy. Surely, you remember, dear?" And Billy's voice shook and skipped whole octaves as he pleaded with her, for he knew she did not believe him and he could not endure the horror of her eyes.
