"I'll just step round to the Peace Officer at once, and I'll be obliged if you'll not have that glass with the chloroform touched again.

"There will have to be an inquest then ?" he asked.
"Aye, but there wull." "In a case of this kind," Sir Chichester suggested, "it would be better if it could be avoided." "But it can't," answered Dr.McKerrel bluntly.

"And for my part, I tell you frankly, Sir Chichester, I have no great pity for poor neurotic bodies like the young lady upstairs.

If she had had a little of my work to do, she would have been too tired in the evening to think about her worries." He looked at the disconsolate Baronet with a sudden twinkle in his eye.

"Eh, man, but you'll get all the publicity you want over this case." Sir Chichester had no rejoinder to the quip; and his unwonted meekness caused McKerrel to relent.
