"We knew it," Hermione replied.
She looked at the doctor for a minute. Then she said:
"Hush, Gaspare!"
The doctor stood by the bed.
"Scusi, signora," he said, "but—but will you take him into the next room?"
He pointed to Gaspare, who shivered as he wept.
"I must make a further examination."
"Why? You see that he is dead."
"Yes, but—there are certain formalities."
He stopped.
