“Yes, sir—two.”
“Very well. Now, about last night. What time did you and your wife go to bed?”
“Eleven o’clock, sir—half an hour later than usual.”
“You’d previously looked round, I suppose?”
“Been all round, sir—I always look into every room in the place last thing at night—thoroughly.”
“Are you and your wife sound sleepers?”
“Yes, sir—both of us. Good sleepers.”
“You heard no sound after you got to bed?”
“No recollection of hearing a revolver shot?—not even as if it were a long way off?”
