hen I did see him he looked awfully
overcome by it, to be sure. He sat quiet in a corner, with his fat
hands hanging over his thick knees, and his head down, and his eyes
looking at nothing. He seemed not so much sorry, as scared and dazed
like, by what had happened. My mistress managed all that was to be
done about the funeral. It must have cost a sight of money--the
coffin, in particular, being most beautiful. The dead lady's husband
was away, as we heard, in foreign parts. But my mistress (being her
aunt) settled it with her friends in the country (Cumberland, I think)
that she should be buried there, in the same grave along with her
mother. Everything was done handsomely, in respect of the funeral, I
say again, and master went down to attend the burying in the country
himself. He looked grand in his deep mourning, with his big solemn
face, and his slow walk, and his broad hatband--that he did!

In conclusion. I have to say, in answer to questions put to me--

(1) That neither I nor my fellow-servant ever saw my master give Lady
Glyde any medicine himself.

(2) That he was never, to my knowledge and belief, left alone in the
room with Lady Glyde.

(3) That I am not able to say what caused the sudden fright, which my
mistress informed me had seized the lady on her first coming into the
house. The cause was never explained, either to me or to my
fellow-servant.

The above statement has been read over in my presence. I have nothing
to add to it, or to take away from it. I say, on my oath as a
Christian woman, this is the truth.

3. THE NARRATIVE OF JANE GOULD

I was the person sent in by Mr. Goodricke to do what was right and
needful by the remains of a lady who had died at the house named in the
certificate which precedes this. I found the body in charge of the
servant, Hester Pinhorn. I remained with it, and
