“You left her then?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Did Miss Lloyd wear any flowers at dinner last evening?”
“No, sir. There were no guests—only the family.”
“Ah, quite so. But did she, by chance, pin on any flowers after she went to her room?”
“Why, yes, sir; she did. A box of roses had come for her by a messenger, and when she found them in her room, she pinned one on the lace of her teagown.”
“Yes? And what time did the flowers arrive?”
“While Miss Lloyd was at dinner, sir. I took them from the box and put them in water, sir.”
“And what sort of flowers were they?”
“Yellow roses, sir.”
