"_How_ do you know that Williams has wafers like those?"
"I have seen him use them."
"For what purpose?"
"To fasten letters."
"I can't help remarking that you seem very well acquainted with what he
does. Several of those who know him best, and have seen him oftenest,
never heard of these wafers. May I ask," he said, "if any one else in
the school will witness to having seen Williams use these wafers?"
No one spoke, and Barker, whose malice seemed to have been changed into
uneasiness, sat down.
