“Is that all?” Adelaide sneered. “I asked for the truth. If you hide anything, you’ll taste this poker.

The red–hot poker was thrust right before Manager Johnson, who screamed and fell to the floor. Ill talk! I’ll talk!”

Adelaide coldly warned, “Tell the truth. One lic, and you’ll swallow this poker.
