The Nurse came with him to the door of the sick-room, taking her last instructions.

Miss Trelawny sat still beside the bed.

Sergeant Daw, who had entered as the Doctor went out, was some little distance off.
When Nurse Kennedy joined us, we arranged that she should sit up till two o'clock, when Miss Trelawny would relieve her.

Thus, in accordance with Mr.Trelawny's instructions, there would always be a man and a woman in the room; and each one of us would overlap, so that at no time would a new set of watchers come on duty without some one to tell of what--if anything--had occurred.

I lay down on a sofa in my own room, having arranged that one of the servants should call me a little before twelve.
