M. Gribelin.--“No, the envelope was closed.”

Colonel Picquart.--“M. Gribelin is mistaken. I do not believe that he

intends to make a false statement, but either his memory fails him

or he has confused the files. I know that M. Gribelin is a perfectly

honest man.”

The Judge.--“I asked General Gonse concerning him just now, and he

spoke of him in the highest terms.”

Colonel Picquart.--“I do not believe him capable of an infamy, but I

believe him capable of an error.”
