“Oh, yes. He talked to the doctor and looked at the body himself. It was he who suggested that the doctor stay until you arrived. But they disturbed the body very little, I believe. You saw Mr. Harrison just as I saw him when I came down before dinner.”

“The whole thing was so dramatic and terrible that the details are still vivid.”
“But most people would get the details fatally twisted, like Pat!” Bernard chuckled. “By the way, what can you tell us about the appearance of the various persons gathered near the corpse when you came down? Begin with the two young men, Russell and Allen. Were they fully dressed?”
“I think so. Yes, they were. Naturally they were impressed!”
“What about Miss Mount and the other daughter?”
“Both dressed. They were pale, of course, but seemed composed. Miss Mount was as steady as a veteran.”
