His statement is wholly false, was our hero's reply.

gpt
Give me your story.

So that was what gave you the swollen jaw, was it?

No, it was not, said he.

I told you what did it, and I don't propose to hear any more lies from street fellows like these,

human
You will not leave this room till this matter is cleared up.

Mr. Randolph, this fellow stated to me yesterday that you were not from Vermont, that you are an impostor. What have you to say to this?

I can only say that I told you the truth.

Have you any way of proving your statement?
human
Here is a letter that I received this morning from my mother, said Herbert, handing it to the banker.

The envelope is postmarked Fairbury, Vermont,
gpt
You may read the letter, said our hero.

It will doubtless convince you of my truthfulness.
