"I am not so sure of that, Etwald. How did you know that David would confess in so dramatic a fashion?" Arkel spoke too hopefully, for Dido was never caught.

"I shall ask to be allowed to have the evidence," said the impressive representative of justice. "There is no time to be lost. Come, Miss Griffin, I shall need you and Miss Howes too."
