"Correct. And we've heard tons of unsubstantiated hearsay
in testimony from previous witnesses."
"That doesn't matter. We are only interested in these documents,
nothing else. Those are side issues and not a part of this investigation."
"They most certainly are a part of it. If what you say is true,
the dean would have just written one sentence in his letter.
He would have written, `I want her out of here because. . . .'
Instead, he wrote two pages filled with unsubstantiated hearsay
and charges of insubordination and dishonesty based on Lyle's
accusation and I want to answer them!"
"Nonsense, the charges are clear. You forged seven SmurFFs.
The rest was only a chronology of the events."
"But the chronology is untrue and biased."
"No. Everything is based on the testimony of the handwriting witness,
we just filter through the rest of the material." Anuse turned to the chair,
a bored look on his face. "We waste time with this useless trivia."
He had just spent the last few minutes in full sneer, trying his best
to beat Trenchant to her knees with the sheer force of his position
of power. Forced to desist by the negative vibes he was getting
from most of the panel, he took refuge in assuming the victor's pose.
