Every man should have aunts. They illustrate the triumph of guess work over logic.
Agatha Christie
Image
Real evidence is usually vague and unsatisfactory. It has to be examined---sifted. But here the whole thing is cut and dried. No, my friend, this evidence has been very cleverly manufactured---so cleverly that it has defeated its own ends.

Wonderful things, horses. Never know what they will do, or won't do.
