A. It was between eight and nine; I did not take particular notice of the time, not expecting there would be any question about it; we were all sitting in the parlour, and Mr. De Berenger knocked at the door, and I let him in, and he walked in, and while I was handing a chair to him to sit down, he said I will not disturb your good company, and he said he would walk into the back; and he did, and he staid about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes.
Q. Did you walk back together?
A. Only into the parlour; in the morning, we were, I dare say, an hour together in the garden.
Q. Did you go into the garden in the evening?
A. We did not.
Q. What was the purpose of his calling in the evening?
A. Merely to answer the purpose of the morning, we meant to do something in the garden; he said he would call if he came that way in the evening, to tell me when he would draw a plan for the work I was going to do in the garden; I was going to build a room there.
Q. He was to draw a plan?
A. Yes.
