"I didn't see you come in! Did I fall asleep…what's happened?…" Her hand went to her throat.

"I don't know…it became terribly still…I…thought I saw something moving at the window…then there was
a queer fragrance and then I looked up to see you bending over me."
I asked: "Can you remember anything of what you saw at the window? The least detail-the least
impression. Please try."
She answered, hesitantly: "There was something white…I thought someone…something…was watching
me…then came the fragrance, like flowers…that's all."
