Rape. Rape?

 It seems that you have known this Miguel Ostos for quite some time.

Yes.

- And were you in love with him?

- Yes.

You're in love with the man that raped you?

That what?

Testimony of Georges Duval, gardener. Referring to Ostos, you described him,

and l quote, as "that crazy Spaniard who raped me in my father's field".

He did not rape me.

- He did not force you?

- Well, you see, l tripped over a root, and l grabbed Miguel to keep me from falling, and somehow we both fell. I cried a little bit afterwards but that wasn't because l was sorry it happened.
