have you ever known me to be impolite either to any member of the
public or to the staff?
NO,
I have never. As a matter of fact you havẻ tried to be courteous
and help everybody who comes into the Immigration Office- what I have
seen.
I think you saw me on a number of occasions handing out little tickets
like this bearing numbers?
Yes,I have.

We have already had your explanation of that limiting the
number of persons to be admitted at one time.
