"Don't be a goose, Afy. It's of no use riding the high horse with me. You know where I saw you--and saw him. People here said you were with Dick Hare; I could have told them better; but I did not. It was no affair of mine, that I should proclaim it, neither is it now. Levison /alias/ Thorn is taken up for your father's murder, and you are wanted to give evidence. There! that's your subpoena; Ball thought you would not come without one."英文原著 · 《East Lynne》
"I will never give evidence against Levison," she uttered, tearing the subpoena to pieces, and scattering them in the street. "I swear I won't. There, for you! Will I help to hang an innocent man, when it was Dick Hare who was the guilty one? I'll walk myself off a hundred miles away first, and stop in hiding till it's over. I shan't forget this turn that you have chosen to play me, Ebenezer James."英文原著 · 《East Lynne》
"I chosen! Why, do you suppose I have anything to do with it? Don't take up that notion, Afy. Ball put that subpoena in my hand, and told me to serve it.
