"And the other one,--Miss Mary, I believe they call her?"

"I don't remember anything about her; I was so busy fetching water
to restore Miss Eleanore, I didn't notice."

"Well, how long was it before Mr. Leavenworth was carried into the
next room?"

"Almost immediate, as soon as Miss Eleanore recovered, and that was
as soon as ever the water touched her lips."

"Who proposed that the body should be carried from the spot?"

"She, sir. As soon as ever she stood up she went over to it and
looked at it and shuddered, and then calling Mr. Harwell and me, bade
us carry him in and lay him on the bed and go for the doctor, which we
did."

"Wait a moment; did she go with you when you went into the other
room?"

"No, sir."

"What did she do?"

"She stayed by the library table."

"What doing?"

"I couldn't see; her back was to me."
