“I am sorry, Miss Lang, but I have not quite done. Did you see Mr. George Brooklyn on Tuesday?”
“Yes, he came here to see me after he had left Liskeard House in the evening.”
“At what time was that?”
“It was after ten o’clock—probably about a quarter past. I am off the stage for a long time then.”
“Was Mr. George Brooklyn a friend of yours?”
“Yes, in a way. At least, Mrs. George Brooklyn is a very dear friend. I used to understudy her when she was Isabelle Raven. She was the Isabelle Raven, you know.”
“Yes. Then there was nothing unusual in Mr. George Brooklyn’s coming to see you here?”
“I don’t think he had ever been to my room before. I had often met him at his own house or at Liskeard House.”
“Did he come for some special purpose?”
“Yes, he came to see me about my engagement to Mr. Prinsep.”
