Disordered Daggers : The Second Man by Edward Grierson (1956)

( Slowly, with a perfect economy, she drove the witness to the wall. At first he was unwisely contemptuous of her and showed it. It did him no good. He was sarcastic; he scored; and his scores rebounded. She turned his words. She held them up; comparing them, and presented them to him again; and got fresh answers and played with these. I have never heard a witness so condemned out of his own mouth. Yet at the end she was still treating him in the same way; as though she trusted him and expected the truth and found herself bewildered by the lies that came up like changelings. )
