How
did
you
know
?
”
I
whispered
.
“
Listen
.
”
“
I
should
say
”
—
the
doctor
was
continuing
—
“
that
I
would
have
been
considerably
surprised
at
any
other
result
.
”
“
Why
?
”
“
Simply
because
strychnine
has
an
unusually
bitter
taste
.
It
can
be
detected
in
a
solution
of
one
in
seventy
thousand
,
and
can
only
be
disguised
by
some
strongly
flavoured
substance
.
Cocoa
would
be
quite
powerless
to
mask
it
.
”
One
of
the
jury
wanted
to
know
if
the
same
objection
applied
to
coffee
.
“
No
.
Coffee
has
a
bitter
taste
of
its
own
which
would
probably
cover
the
taste
of
strychnine
.
”
“
Then
you
consider
it
more
likely
that
the
drug
was
administered
in
the
coffee
,
but
that
for
some
unknown
reason
its
action
was
delayed
.
”
“
Yes
,
but
,
the
cup
being
completely
smashed
,
there
is
no
possibility
of
analyzing
its
contents
.
”
This
concluded
Dr
.
Bauerstein
’
s
evidence
.
Dr
.
Wilkins
corroborated
it
on
all
points
.
Sounded
as
to
the
possibility
of
suicide
,
he
repudiated
it
utterly
.
The
deceased
,
he
said
,
suffered
from
a
weak
heart
,
but
otherwise
enjoyed
perfect
health
,
and
was
of
a
cheerful
and
well
-
balanced
disposition
.
She
would
be
one
of
the
last
people
to
take
her
own
life
.
