I can pick a liar from a lineup of thieves and slanderers: the best of the best. I was hoping you would not resist the information we need but I must ask you now to answer my question truthfully and to choose your next words wisely. What does the key open? Celia McMahon
About This Quote

The narrator of the quote is asking this question to someone who has committed a crime. He’s not asking for information about what the key opens, but rather for information on his own crimes. This question can be interpreted in two different ways. On one hand, the person being asked could be asking for information on what they’ve done wrong that would warrant their punishment. Or, on the other hand, they could be asking for information on why they are there in the first place.
