“About two years. At the time she engaged me at Cannes, monsieur was not with her, but about three months later he joined her, and we travelled first to San Remo, then to Rome, Homburg, and London.”
“And you always believed Lapasque to be her husband?” asked Mr Grover.
“Of course, m’sieur. Madame always told me he was.”
“How long ago did you leave her service?”
“About six months.”
“Have you seen either since?”
“I have only seen madame. I was with M’sieur Willoughby, and we saw her come from a house in Victoria Street, Westminster.”
“Did you identify her?”
“Yes, without the slightest difficulty. I did not, however, speak to her.”
No other questions were asked the witness, and she left the box.
