“There are a good many for Miss Gwen since—some almost coming in every post.”
Although there is, or was, but one Miss Gwen Wynn at Llangorren, the head servant, as the others, from habit calls her ‘Miss Gwen,’ speaking of her as if she were still alive.
“It is your place to look after the letters, I believe?”
“Yes; I attend to that.”
“What have you done with those addressed to Miss Wynn?”
“I gave them to Gibbons, Miss Gwen’s lady’s-maid.”
“Let Gibbons be called again!” directs the Coroner.
The girl is brought in the second time, having been already examined at some length, and, as before, confessing her neglect of duty.
“Mr Williams,” proceeds the examiner, “gave you some letters for your late mistress. What have you done with them?”
“I took them upstairs to Miss Gwen’s room.”
