"I think so." And there's a moment where Strange just looks so goddamn happy, the happiest Childermass has seen him in ages. Of course, that moment's ruined as he starts to ramble: there's a perfectly good silence for him talk over, after all.
"Norrell and I used a summoning spell, one of my own doing. We had the rocks, the river, the trees name Uskglass as we had no idea of the man's actual name. The spell was chaotic but it worked. I could feel it work, all the power and all the magic flowing through the two of us! And I saw someone in the chaos: I believe it was him."
Because of course it was the Raven King! Who else would it be, who else could he have summoned? Strange can think of no answer except Uskglass himself. Granted, the Raven King didn't exactly end up being much use in the whole murder a faerie, save Arabella part of everything, but who cares! It still happened!
