= "Dr. Lord." "Was Dr. Lord here on the evening preceding his death?" "Yes; he had dinner here that evening." "Then he is a friend of the family?" "Yes, sir. He is engaged to be married to my sister." Nick’s face brightened; but he pretended not to notice the announcement which young Rogers had just made. Continuing, he said: "When did Dr. Lord leave here that evening?" "Shortly after dinner. He had an urgent call to a patient at Roxbury." "And your father retired shortly after?"

"We sent for Dr. Lord, who examined him and pronounced it heart disease. He went away then, and returned shortly afterward with another doctor."
