“Indeed, and may I ask who your informant is?”
The coroner paid no attention to the interruption, but went steadily on with his examination.
“Did Mrs. Trevor admit you?”
Silence.
The coroner repeated his question.

“Come, sir; you must answer. Yes, or no?”
Gordon stirred uneasily in his chair. “I was in my rooms at the Benedict until I left to go to the ball,” he said.
“Was anyone with you?”
“No.”
