taller. By the time they stopped sneezing,

03:38
of paper, looking for the name of the next
66
218180
2300
03:40
witness. Imagine her surprise when he
67
220480
3460
03:43
straightened up, took a deep breath
68
223940
1990

and shouted the name of the next witness...

2570
03:57
a little taller, as she took a deep breath,
73
237310
2470
03:59
and stepped forward.
74

960

77
246700
1960
04:08
reads a letter from the Knave of Hearts.
78

04:11
Curiouser and curiouser...
