“No. There doesn’t seem to have been any time to talk to anybody.”
“And of course if you had questioned him you would have known which he was?”
“Yes,” rejoined Lord Charles evenly, “of course.”
“Did any of the others talk to him, my lord?”
“I really don’t know. How could I? If I had heard that, I would—” He stopped short. “I really can’t tell you more than that.”
“I understand, my lord. I must thank you for your courtesy and apologize again for causing you so much pain. There are only one or two other points. Did you touch your brother?”
“No!” said Lord Charles violently. “No! No! They carried him out and took him to my room. That is all.”
“And you did not see him again until you came into his room while I was there?”
“I took Dr. Kantripp to the room and waited with him. The children’s old nurse was there. She helped the doctor until the trained nurse arrived.”
“I take it that Dr. Kantripp—” Fox paused for a moment — “the doctor did everything that was necessary? I mean, my lord, that the injury was unattended until he came?”
