The Attorney-general. "You noticed what?"
Witness. "That, as with the soup, monsieur ate nothing, and helped madame to nothing. I waited till I thought it was time, and then I went to the table and asked whether he did not like the salmon cutlets. Monsieur answered, 'Oh yes, they are very good,' and pushed them away as before. I removed them, as with the soup. What will monsieur have to follow?' I asked. 'Ices,' he said. 'Vanille?' I asked. 'Yes,' he said, 'Vanille.' I brought them. They were not eaten."
The Attorney-general. "Did they drink the wine?"
Witness. "Monsieur once raised his glass to his lips, but tasted it only, and as if he had no heart in it."
The Attorney-general. "Did he order anything else?"
Witness. "No. When I asked him, he said, 'The bill.' I brought it."
The Attorney-general. "What did it amount to?"
Witness. "One pound four shillings."
The Attorney-general. "How much of the champagne was drunk?"
Witness. "Half a glass--not more."
