“Had you tried to awaken him?”
“Yes, I had shaken his arm.”
“And then?”
“I ran out of the room and fetched my aunt who sent me for Mr. Chinley—”
“That is the butler?”
“Yes, and then I went for Mr. Tulmin.”
“Was he awake?”
“Oh, yes. Indeed, he was half dressed.”
“Did he open the door directly you knocked?”
“Yes, I—I think so.”
