When does she say she shot him?'

'But why would he say he had done it if he hadn't?'

'If he didn't do it, why did he say that he did?' said Slack

'Did you know that someone else has also confessed to the murder which you say you committed?' The effect of these words on Lawrence was immediate

'I'm afraid that when you so kindly brought my handkerchief to me you probably heard Laura say something very offensive

'She didn't tell me she was going or say goodbye! I must go to her immediately!'

You heard the doctor say that she needed fresh air

'Say what you've come to say and then leave,' she said in a cold, aggressive voice.
