"I was, I saw both of them."
"On entering the room what did he do with them?"
"He gave them both to the Squire."
"And what happened next?"
"The Squire thrust one of them under his pillow, and gave the other back to Mr. Tew for him to read it aloud."
"And what happened when the reading had come to an end?"
"The bell rang for me--I had been ordered out of the room while the reading took place--and, on entering, Mr. Tew told me that the Squire was ready for the witnesses, whom I had been careful to have close at hand, so that there should be no delay."
"Proceed."
"The witnesses were brought into the room and placed where they could see all that went forward. Pen and ink were in readiness. I raised the Squire in bed--he was too weak to sit up without help--and supported him with an arm round his waist. Mr. Tew placed the will in front of him, gave him the pen, pointed out the place for him, and with that Mr. Cortelyon slowly and carefully signed his name. Then Mr. Tew took the will to the table and caused Grice and Denny to sign it one after the other. When that was done the two men were dismissed."
"Yes, and after that?"
