"It hadn't done up to the time of his death."
"He still visited you?"
"Yes, just as often."
The Coroner remained silent for a moment, glancing at his notes. When he looked towards the witness again he was blander than ever.
"Now I shall have to ask you still more personal questions," he said. "It is, as you must be aware, Mrs. Saumarez, well known in the town that on your first coming here as a resident you became on terms of great friendship with Dr. Wellesley. Do you agree to that?"
"Yes, I suppose so."
"You used to go out a great deal with Dr. Wellesley—driving, and so on?"
"Yes."
"In fact, Dr. Wellesley at that time paid you great attention?"
"Yes."
