"Exactly! You did not suspect that she had Bright's disease, until you heard it suggested here during this trial. Is that about it?"
"I did not consider it at all."
"Now, then, I believe that you called Dr. Meredith into the case?"
"Yes, sir."
"Why did you do that?"

"That is to say, you found yourself incompetent to control the disease?"
"I felt that I should have assistance. It is common practice to call a physician in consultation when a disease becomes uncontrollable."
"He is usually a man who has special knowledge, is he not?"
