Strona 35 - My word, William, did it ever fail you? I swear to you as I shall answer to that Being whose eye alone saw the deed, that she is absolutely pure of it, whatever the evidence may appear to prove to you ! Will you, for my sake, use your utmost efforts to lead the jury to a verdict of acquittal ?"
