Thanks, Eva. Mary's immediate and vehement denial of knowing Powell, in my opinion, also discounts the bad light, poor eyesight argument. If she wasn't sure who Powell was because she couldn't get a good look at him -- and if she was innocent -- she would have said "Bring over that lamp." Instead, that "religious and pious woman" played her best card by invoking God's name and trying to lie her way out of it.
