HEDDA.

Why stolen it?

BRACK.

HEDDA.

Indeed?

BRACK.

HEDDA.

BRACK.

Were you alone with him?

HEDDA.

Part of the time.

BRACK.

Did you not leave the room whilst he was here?

HEDDA.

No.

BRACK.

Try to recollect. Were you not out of the room a moment?

HEDDA.

Yes, perhaps just a moment--out in the hall.

BRACK.

And where was your pistol-case during that time?

HEDDA.

I had it locked up in--

BRACK.

Well, Mrs. Hedda?

HEDDA.
