“
That
,
of
course
,
is
always
possible
,
”
replied
the
doctor
.
But
Dorcas
,
who
was
the
next
witness
called
,
dispelled
even
that
possibility
.
The
medicine
had
not
been
newly
made
up
.
On
the
contrary
,
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
had
taken
the
last
dose
on
the
day
of
her
death
.
So
the
question
of
the
tonic
was
finally
abandoned
,
and
the
Coroner
proceeded
with
his
task
.
Having
elicited
from
Dorcas
how
she
had
been
awakened
by
the
violent
ringing
of
her
mistress
’
s
bell
,
and
had
subsequently
roused
the
household
,
he
passed
to
the
subject
of
the
quarrel
on
the
preceding
afternoon
.
Dorcas
’
s
evidence
on
this
point
was
substantially
what
Poirot
and
I
had
already
heard
,
so
I
will
not
repeat
it
here
.
The
next
witness
was
Mary
Cavendish
.
She
stood
very
upright
,
and
spoke
in
a
low
,
clear
,
and
perfectly
composed
voice
.
In
answer
to
the
Coroner
’
s
question
,
she
told
how
,
her
alarm
clock
having
aroused
her
at
four
-
thirty
as
usual
,
she
was
dressing
,
when
she
was
startled
by
the
sound
of
something
heavy
falling
.
“
That
would
have
been
the
table
by
the
bed
?
”
commented
the
Coroner
.
“
I
opened
my
door
,
”
continued
Mary
,
“
and
listened
.
In
a
few
minutes
a
bell
rang
violently
.
Dorcas
came
running
down
and
woke
my
husband
,
and
we
all
went
to
my
mother
-
in
-
law
’
s
room
,
but
it
was
locked
—
—
”
The
Coroner
interrupted
her
.
“
I
really
do
not
think
we
need
trouble
you
further
on
that
point
.
We
know
all
that
can
be
known
of
the
subsequent
happenings
.
But
I
should
be
obliged
if
you
would
tell
us
all
you
overheard
of
the
quarrel
the
day
before
.
