And the lamp is upon the Terrace opposite the door.—Yes.
And about five or six yards from the door?—Yes.
The light which it given to your passage is, I suppose, through the fan-light over the door?—Yes.
Then you mean to say that the light which came through that fan-light into your passage enabled you to see who it was, before the person had left the room?—When he opened the door and went out I saw him.
You say that the person, whoever he was, shut the door immediately afterwards?—Yes; but I could see him when he opened the door.
Did you see the face of the person?—No.
How then can you pretend to say that you knew who that person was?—I saw that the person had a shirt on.
Do you mean to say that you can distinguish a shirt from a shift or a bed-gown?—I saw that it was a shirt.
I should imagine that on an occasion of this sort you were a little frightened?—Yes, I was rather alarmed.
Waked out of your sleep in this way, you were of course rather alarmed.—Did it not take place all in a minute?—Yes, it was not long about.
