For the first time during the entire interview there was a short pause before Lila answered. “No. No one at all."

“No one?"Hughes said sharply.

Lila shook her head. “Not apart from myself and Mrs. Curtis. Mr. Curtis and Ross had breakfast with us in the kitchen, but they went outside immediately afterwards to ready the car."

“I see." Farman put his pen down. “Thank you very kindly, Miss White. I hope this wasn’t too arduous for you."

“One last question if I may?" Hughes interposed himself quickly. “Miss White, I know this is an unusual question but what is your opinion of Edward’s condition?"

“His condition?" Lila blinked, obviously not expecting this. “Well, it’s very sad of course. I mean, for the family."

“You have no other comments?"

“Well, naturally, the family wishes to be as discreet about it as possible," Lila said, carefully. “We are allowed to know very little." She paused, then continued softly. “I will say that it strikes me as very convenient."
