    Lady Constance Pemberton

    "I was upstairs writing letters to my sister when I heard the cry."

  • The butler

    Dr. Marcus Whitcombe

    "I had stepped out for a smoke on the south terrace. Quite alone, I admit."

  • The nephew

    Mr. Stephen Pemberton

    "In the library with a brandy and Dickens. The fire warms one terribly."
