"Yes."
"And you came unaccompanied by any servant; may I ask you why was this?"
"Mr. Davenport had peculiar notions about never moving servants from one house to another. He insisted on getting new servants when we changed."
"So that it was at his desire you came unattended?"
"Certainly. Only it was too late when we arrived, we should have got some one to help us."
"And was Mr. Davenport in his usual health when you reached Crescent House?"
"No. His asthma was worse, but not very much worse. When it was bad he could not lie down. My room was the only one in order, and he said he would rest on the couch for the night. I left him at about eleven, but did not go to bed, as I was not quite easy about him, and thought I'd come down and put some coal on the fire later. I fell asleep in a chair, and when I went down I found all was over."
"He had a large quantity of chloroform by him?"
"Yes; a two-ounce bottle, almost full."
"And he was in the habit of using chloroform when the spasms were bad?"
