"
Well
?
"
she
demanded
.
"
A
sad
business
.
Nothing
to
be
done
.
Must
have
died
in
her
sleep
.
"
"
I
know
,
"
said
my
sister
again
.
This
time
I
was
annoyed
.
"
You
can
’
t
know
,
"
I
snapped
.
"
I
didn
’
t
know
myself
until
I
got
there
,
and
haven
’
t
mentioned
it
to
a
soul
yet
.
If
that
girl
Annie
knows
,
she
must
be
a
clairvoyant
.
"
"
It
wasn
’
t
Annie
who
told
me
.
It
was
the
milkman
.
He
had
it
from
the
Ferrarses
"
cook
.
"
As
I
say
,
there
is
no
need
for
Caroline
to
go
out
to
get
information
.
She
sits
at
home
and
it
comes
to
her
.
My
sister
continued
:
"
What
did
she
die
of
?
Heart
failure
?
"
"
Didn
’
t
the
milkman
tell
you
that
?
"
I
inquired
sarcastically
.
Sarcasm
is
wasted
on
Caroline
.
She
takes
it
seriously
and
answers
accordingly
.
"
He
didn
’
t
know
,
"
she
explained
.
After
all
,
Caroline
was
bound
to
hear
sooner
or
later
.
She
might
as
well
hear
from
me
.
"
She
died
of
an
overdose
of
veronal
.
She
’
s
been
taking
it
lately
for
sleeplessness
.
Must
have
taken
too
much
.
"
"
Nonsense
,
"
said
Caroline
immediately
.
"
She
took
it
on
purpose
.
Don
’
t
tell
me
!
"
It
is
odd
,
when
you
have
a
secret
belief
of
your
own
which
you
do
not
wish
to
acknowledge
,
the
.
voicing
of
it
by
someone
else
will
rouse
you
to
a
fury
of
denial
.
I
burst
immediately
into
indignant
speech
.
"
There
you
go
again
,
"
I
said
.
"
Rushing
along
without
rhyme
or
reason
.
Why
on
earth
should
Mrs
.
Ferrars
wish
to
commit
suicide
?
A
widow
,
fairly
young
still
,
very
well
off
,
good
health
,
and
nothing
to
do
but
enjoy
life
.
It
’
s
absurd
.
"
"
Not
at
all
.
Even
you
must
have
noticed
how
different
she
has
been
looking
lately
.
It
’
s
been
coming
on
for
the
last
six
months
.
She
’
s
looked
positively
hag
-
ridden
.
And
you
have
just
admitted
that
she
hasn
’
t
been
able
to
sleep
.
"
"
What
is
your
diagnosis
?
"
I
demanded
coldly
.
"
An
unfortunate
love
affair
,
I
suppose
?
"
My
sister
shook
her
head
.
