When did you see a change ?" "When the note I was trying to burn flew up the chimney." "I see.

Was that after or before the door opened ?" "After." "Did the opening of this door alter the temperature of the room ?" "I cannot say; I felt neither heat nor cold at any time." "Didn't you feel the icy cold when you opened the dressing-closet window to throw out the phial ?" "I don't remember." "Wouldn't you remember if you had ?" "I cannot say." Can you say whether you noticed any especial chill in the hall when you went out to telephone ?" "My teeth were chattering but--" "Had they chattered before ?" "They may have.

I only noticed it then; but--" "The facts, Miss Cumberland.

Your teeth chattered while you were passing through the hall.

Did this keep up after you entered the room where you found the telephone ?" "I don't remember; I was almost insensible." "You don't remember that they did ?" "No, sir." "But you do remember having shut the door behind you ?" "Yes." An open window in the hall! That was what he was trying to prove--open at this time.
