He himself did not particularly care about Mr.Errington, but he certainly had never made any observations to his wife on the subject.
"'But who is Mr.Errington ?' repeated the coroner once more.

'What does he do?
What is his business or profession ?' "'He has no business or profession.
"'What is his occupation, then?
"He has no special occupation.

He has ample private means.

But he has a great and very absorbing hobby.' "'What is that ?' "'He spends all his time in chemical experiments, and is, I believe, as an amateur, a very distinguished toxicologist.'".
