What do you mean by that?"
"Every time I have gone into court, my qualifications have been
accepted by the court. I have never been denied. That is what is meant."
The chair indicated to Trenchant that she might ask questions
of the document examiner.
First, Trenchant confirmed all of the documents given the examiner
and again made the point that many of these had not been given her
before the hearing as had been sworn to by Lyle and also written
in a letter to her by the chair.
She next established that all of the exemplars that the analyst
worked from were copies. Continuing her questioning of the witness,
she asked, "You must be aware that people in your profession
pretty much insist on seeing original standards?"
Alice dodged adroitly. "I saw the originals of the questioned documents."
Trenchant pursued. "But only copies of the standards."
Alice allowed, "correct," to escape between clenched teeth.
"You have been testifying throughout saying that I wrote
the standards you used. I put it to you. Is this something
you were told, or do you know of your own knowledge that I wrote
those standards you used to compare with `suspect' SmurFFs?"
"What was that?" Anuse interrupted.
