25/27 Mr.Ablewhite's innocence is equally certain--or Rachel would never have testified to it. And Franklin Blake's innocence, as you have just seen, unanswerably asserts itself. On the one hand, we are morally certain of all these things.

What is the use of my experience, what is the use of any person's experience, in such a case as that? |
