Margaret.
I don't, sir.
Sir Robert.
So it's not the fact that when you telegraphed to
me from Dover you also telegraphed to her?
Margaret.
Of course not, sir.
Sir Robert.
Then how do you account for it that Margaret
Schiller received a telegram signed with your name?
Margaret.
But she didn't.
Sir Robert.
[Sharply.] How do you know she didn't?
Margaret.
[Confused.] I mean she couldn't—she couldn't have
received a telegram from me.
Sir Robert.
I said a telegram signed with your name—your
Christian name, Freda.
Margaret.
[Recovering herself.] Freda is not an uncommon
name, sir. Somebody else in the train named Freda
may have sent the telegram.
Sir Robert.
That is possible. Yes, that is quite possible. I
see that your telegram to me was sent off from the
pier at Dover?
