No proof? Bentman told me at Newmarket yesterday that Dancy did know of the sale. He told Goole, and Goole says that he himself spoke of it to Dancy. (WINSOR: Well--if he did?) Dancy told you he didn't know of it in General Canynge's presence, and mine. (To CANYNGE) You can't deny that, if you want to. (CANYNGE: Choose your expressions more nicely, please!) Proof! Did they find any footmarks in the grounds below that torn creeper? Not a sign! You saw how he can jump; he won ten pounds from me that same evening betting on what he knew was a certainty. That's your Dancy--a common sharper!
