“Do you know whether he had a visitor, just before you heard him fall?”
“He had a patient, yes. A man.”
“Who was it?”
“I don't know. He was a stranger to me.”
“Do you remember what he looked like?”
Minnie reflected.
“He was a smallish man, maybe thirty-five or so,” she said. “I think he had gaiters over his shoes, or maybe light tops. He was a nice appearing person.”
“How soon after that did you hear Doctor David fall?”
“Right away. First the door slammed, and then he dropped.”
