'
I
do
n't
know
what
to
think
,
'
replied
poor
Giles
.
'
I
do
n't
think
it
is
the
boy
;
indeed
,
I
'm
almost
certain
that
it
is
n't
.
You
know
it
ca
n't
be
.
'
'
Has
this
man
been
a-drinking
,
sir
?
'
inquired
Blathers
,
turning
to
the
doctor
.
'
What
a
precious
muddle-headed
chap
you
are
!
'
said
Duff
,
addressing
Mr.
Giles
,
with
supreme
contempt
.
Mr.
Losberne
had
been
feeling
the
patient
's
pulse
during
this
short
dialogue
;
but
he
now
rose
from
the
chair
by
the
bedside
,
and
remarked
,
that
if
the
officers
had
any
doubts
upon
the
subject
,
they
would
perhaps
like
to
step
into
the
next
room
,
and
have
Brittles
before
them
.
Acting
upon
this
suggestion
,
they
adjourned
to
a
neighbouring
apartment
,
where
Mr.
Brittles
,
being
called
in
,
involved
himself
and
his
respected
superior
in
such
a
wonderful
maze
of
fresh
contradictions
and
impossibilities
,
as
tended
to
throw
no
particular
light
on
anything
,
but
the
fact
of
his
own
strong
mystification
;
except
,
indeed
,
his
declarations
that
he
should
n't
know
the
real
boy
,
if
he
were
put
before
him
that
instant
;
that
he
had
only
taken
Oliver
to
be
he
,
because
Mr.
Giles
had
said
he
was
;
and
that
Mr.
Giles
had
,
five
minutes
previously
,
admitted
in
the
kitchen
,
that
he
begain
to
be
very
much
afraid
he
had
been
a
little
too
hasty
.
Among
other
ingenious
surmises
,
the
question
was
then
raised
,
whether
Mr.
Giles
had
really
hit
anybody
;
and
upon
examination
of
the
fellow
pistol
to
that
which
he
had
fired
,
it
turned
out
to
have
no
more
destructive
loading
than
gunpowder
and
brown
paper
:
a
discovery
which
made
a
considerable
impression
on
everybody
but
the
doctor
,
who
had
drawn
the
ball
about
ten
minutes
before
.
Upon
no
one
,
however
,
did
it
make
a
greater
impression
than
on
Mr.
Giles
himself
;
who
,
after
labouring
,
for
some
hours
,
under
the
fear
of
having
mortally
wounded
a
fellow-creature
,
eagerly
caught
at
this
new
idea
,
and
favoured
it
to
the
utmost
.
Finally
,
the
officers
,
without
troubling
themselves
very
much
about
Oliver
,
left
the
Chertsey
constable
in
the
house
,
and
took
up
their
rest
for
that
night
in
the
town
;
promising
to
return
the
next
morning
.
With
the
next
morning
,
there
came
a
rumour
,
that
two
men
and
a
boy
were
in
the
cage
at
Kingston
,
who
had
been
apprehended
over
night
under
suspicious
circumstances
;
and
to
Kingston
Messrs.
Blathers
and
Duff
journeyed
accordingly
.
The
suspicious
circumstances
,
however
,
resolving
themselves
,
on
investigation
,
into
the
one
fact
,
that
they
had
been
discovered
sleeping
under
a
haystack
;
which
,
although
a
great
crime
,
is
only
punishable
by
imprisonment
,
and
is
,
in
the
merciful
eye
of
the
English
law
,
and
its
comprehensive
love
of
all
the
King
's
subjects
,
held
to
be
no
satisfactory
proof
,
in
the
absence
of
all
other
evidence
,
that
the
sleeper
,
or
sleepers
,
have
committed
burglary
accompanied
with
violence
,
and
have
therefore
rendered
themselves
liable
to
the
punishment
of
death
;
Messrs.
Blathers
and
Duff
came
back
again
,
as
wise
as
they
went
.
In
short
,
after
some
more
examination
,
and
a
great
deal
more
conversation
,
a
neighbouring
magistrate
was
readily
induced
to
take
the
joint
bail
of
Mrs.
Maylie
and
Mr
