"Yes."
"You did not go by the garden gate last night?"
"No. I never go that way. The gate is never used."
"Did Mrs. Fitzroy have many visitors?"
"None to speak of. Not half a dozen people have called upon her since I have been here. I believe she had no relations. Once or twice a week she would be out all day, and occasionally she has been away for a night or two."
"Where has she gone on these occasions?" I asked.
"I do not know."
"And her correspondence—was it large?"
"She received very few letters," the servant answered; "whether she wrote many, I cannot say. I certainly didn't post them."
