"Yes; but what struck us all as strange was that Miss Chalmers did not go near her when the accident happened, nor for two days afterward, though it occurred in her room."
"Humph! Does Pierrepont come here now?"
"He has been here every day to inquire for Miss de Barryos, most days twice."
"Who sees him?"
"Miss Chalmers."
Stolliker lifted his eyebrows slightly.
"How long does he remain?"
"Not long. He has seemed dreadfully depressed since Miss de Barryos' illness."
"Is there anything else?"
"I don't think so."
