Merriman shakes his head. 'I intend to find out his exact status when I eventually return to the bar. But unless you consider Mister Norrington's tolerance for alcohol to be such that he can be expected to provide clear and sober testimony upon questioning, it would only be wise to regard both of them as unreliable witnesses.'
The mention of Archie Kennedy eases some of the lines of grim tension in Merriman's face.
'Ah, yes,' he says. 'Mister Kennedy. Well, that may help to ensure that this incident is not taken purely at face-value...and also that it can be dealt with quietly, without involving more people than absolutely necessary. Which I think you will agree will be best for all parties involved.'
