What I know is that on the third of February, 2026, a Tuesday, I was at that house in the afternoon, and he did not say one word to me about where he had been in the morning.
Four weeks before I went through his coat.
ITEM 4. WHAT HE SAID TO ME IN THE APRIL.
I went over with the first list in my hand because I thought he would want to know what I had found.
He was at the table and he looked at it and he did not pretend.
He said: “I know, Eunice.”
Then he said the thing I have been carrying since.
He said: “If I stand up in that court and say my head’s gone, they’ll have me assessed. Then it’s not a shop any more. It’s the house, and the car, and whether I’m fit to sign my own name.”
He said: “Let them have me for a thief. A thief gets to go home.”
