“I said I thought first I was on the stairs; then I remembered I was in the kitchen when he came in.”
“She told me she had a note, somebody was sick.”
“I knew there was an old axe down cellar; that is all I knew.”
“I was feeling well enough to eat the pears.”
“I thought I would go out, and see if the air would make me feel any better.”
“She said she was going out, and would get the dinner. That is the last I saw her, or said anything to her.”
“I think he came to the front door and rang the bell, and Maggie let him in, and he said he had forgotten his key; so I think she must have been down stairs.”
“I don't know what I have said. I have answered so many questions and I am so confused I don't know one thing from another. I am telling you just as nearly as I know.”
“My door was open part of the time, and part of the time I tried to get a nap and their voices annoyed me, and I closed it. I kept it open in summer more or less, and closed in winter.”
“Oh, Mrs. Churchill, do come over, someone has killed father.”
“I was on the stairs coming down when she let him in.”
“I have been away a great deal in the daytime, occasionally at night.”
“Maggie went out of doors to wash the windows and father came out into the kitchen and said he did not know whether he would go down to the post office or not. And then I sprinkled some handkerchiefs to iron.”
“I can't do anything in a minute.”
“I did not hear her go or come back, but I supposed she went.”
“I never eat any breakfast.”
“When I first came down stairs, for two or three minutes I went down cellar to the water closet.”
“Go for Dr. Bowen as soon as you can. I think father is hurt.”
“I know what she used to do sometimes. She kept her best cape she wore on the street in there, and she used occasionally to go up there to get it and to take it into her room. She kept a great deal in the guest room drawers.”
“I don't know whether Mrs. Borden is out or in; I wish you would see if she is in her room.”
