All the furniture in the room might hardly have realized five-and-twenty pounds at an auction, but the general effect was delightful to Richard Plowden's eye and mind.

I thought at first he was in a fit ; but when I stooped over him I smelt a sharp strong smell like bitter almonds, and then I knew it was prussic acid. ' What have you given him ? ' I asked. But Mr. Pilgrim made no answer. 'You've killed him,' I said, and then he told me that it was accident. He had taken the wrong bottle. He had taken a bottle of prussic acid which Mr. Trenchard kept in his medicine-chest, among other drugs, instead of choral. He seemed in a dreadful state of mind. I couldn't help feeling for him.
