Stimson thought a moment.
“No, sir, I don’t believe I have happened to see them together, except at meals, when he sat at the head of the table and she at the foot.”
“Did they appear on good terms at meals, afterwards?”
“I’m afraid I didn’t notice, sir. They did not appear on bad terms, at all events.”
“You were fond of Harrison? His death upset you?” suggested Bernard benignly.
Stimson compressed his lips.
“It was a shock to me!”
“Nothing more than a shock?” Bernard persisted.
“Mr. Harrison was a generous employer. But he was not a gentleman likely to endear himself to those about him, sir.”
