Green and Shamspeare's Testimony: The Evening of 17th February
Olive Green and William Shamspeare's Testimony
- The Evening of 17th February -
- Green: It was six days ago, at about 5 p.m. I was walking along in the snow when I was suddenly stabbed in the back.
- Green: Coincidentally, it happened to be just outside the house where the men in this case have their lodgings.
- Shamspeare: I was at the tavern on the eve of which though speak'st, for I had bespoke my supper.
- Green: It was the first time I'd been in the area. I had a little matter to attend to, that's all.
- Green: Anyway, I was admitted straight to hospital, so I knew nothing about all of this business.

Green and Shamspeare's Testimony: The Anomaly of the Note
Olive Green and William Shamspeare's Testimony
- The Anomaly of the Note -
- Shamspeare: I do remember now. 'Twas a week ago, peradventure, that note was deliver'd unto me.
- Shamspeare: On the day writ therein, I did tarry a long hour at The Slug and Salad, yet nobody came.
- Shamspeare: Thereafter, on the evening I shared the company of the Japanese fellow, I did see the note had vanish'd.
- Green: I don't know what you mean. You think I snuck into this man's room, do you? Why would I?
- Green: I can point out the villain here! And as for that torn-off piece of the envelope, I don't know anything about it.
