“We knew no more than he had said at the table. He said nothing when he went away.”
“How did you and Miss Lloyd spend the remainder of the evening?”
“It was but a short evening. We sat in the music-room for a time, but at about ten o'clock we both went up to our rooms.”
“Had Mr. Crawford returned then?”
“Yes, he came in perhaps an hour earlier. We heard him come in at the front door, and go at once to his office.”
“You did not see him, or speak to him?”
“We did not. He had a caller during the evening. It was Mr. Porter, I have since learned.”
“Did Miss Lloyd express no interest as to whether he had changed his will or not?”
“Miss Lloyd didn't mention the will, or her engagement, to me at all. We talked entirely of other matters.”
“Was Miss Lloyd in her usual mood or spirits?”
