The 3rd story in the Black Widowers case files, Isaac Asimov wrote it for Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine (October 1972 issue), under the title of "The Man Who Never Told a Lie".Gonzalo is host tonight, and his guest is John Sand, a horse-race buff known for never telling a lie. The members warmly welcome Halsted, who missed the previous two meetings, and learn about his new hobby, adapting The Iliad and The Odyssey into limerick form. He shares the first book before Gonzalo even arrives. When he does, he tells everyone present that Drake has some family business to take care of.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The discussion tonight is about how dishonesty is used for social defenses. After dinner, Gonzalo dispenses with the traditional grilling format and directs Mr Sand to describe their problem. Mr Sand has been accused of stealing, despite his insistence that he didn't remove the cash or the bonds from the safe.This story has been reprinted twice; Tales of the Black Widowers (1974) and The 50 Greatest Mysteries Of All Time (1998). | |

Exact Words: The group's guest, Mr Sands, tells a story about being suspected of a robbery and repeatedly insists "I didn't take the cash or the bonds". The earlier disclosure of his consistent, and known, honesty kept Henry carefully listening to his claims, then asks if he took the cash and the bonds. He declines to answer. | |
