Context
“"A murderer would not have done that."
"Barrington says that the head policeman says that it is just what a very clever murderer would do."
"Do you believe it, Duchess?"
"Certainly not;—not though Lord Fawn swore that he had seen it. I never will believe what I don't like to believe, and nothing shall ever make me."
"He couldn't have done it."
"Well;—for the matter of that, I suppose he could."
"No, Duchess, he could not have done it."
"He is strong enough,—and brave enough."
"But not enough of a coward. There is nothing cowardly about him.”
