My young brother died at Ponsonby Hall last December.
You must have buried him.
Don't worry on that score, Mr. Coffin.
What do you have to knowing, sir?
All the five boys were supposed to have had pneumonia, I understand.
That's what the medical report said.
Who signed those reports?
Dr. Ponsonby himself.
He's a regular medical doctor, look you.
How very convenient.
No questions had to be asked.
Mr. Coffin, when you prepared those bodies for burial, did you notice anything unusual about them?
Anything to make you think their deaths were possibly not caused by pneumonia?
No, sir.
Think now.
Well, now that you mention it, there was one thing I was often noticing.
Oh, what was that, my good man?
The boys had a strange look on their faces as they lay there, as if something had frightened the wits out of them just before they died.
That's very odd.
The face of anyone dying from pneumonia would be in repose.
