Mrs.
Cavendish, of course, could not be called upon to give evidence
against her husband.
After various questions on other matters, Mr. Philips asked:
"In the month of June last, do you remember a parcel arriving for
Mr. Lawrence Cavendish from Parkson's?"
Dorcas shook her head.
"I don't remember, sir. It may have done, but Mr. Lawrence was
away from home part of June."
"In the event of a parcel arriving for him whilst he was away,
what would be done with it?"
"It would either be put in his room or sent on after him."
"By you?"
"No, sir, I should leave it on the hall table. It would be Miss
Howard who would attend to anything like that."
Evelyn Howard was called and, after being examined on other
points, was questioned as to the parcel.
"Don't remember. Lots of parcels come. Can't remember one
special one."
"You do not know if it was sent after Mr. Lawrence Cavendish to
Wales, or whether it was put in his room?"
"Don't think it was sent after him. Should have remembered it if
it was.
