"Madame will take her egg-and-milk before going to rehearsal?" "Yes, Yvette. Bring it to me here, please." "You have a rehearsal to-day?" I asked. "I hope I'm not detaining you." "Not at all. The call is for three o'clock. This is the second one, and they fixed the hour to suit me. It is really my first rehearsal, because at the previous one I was too hoarse to sing a note." I rose to go.
"Wouldn't you like to come with me to the theatre?" she said with an adorable accent of invitation. My good fortune staggered me. After she had taken her egg-and-milk we set out. I was intensely conscious of her beauty as I sat by her side in the swiftly rolling victoria. And I was conscious of other qualities in her too of her homeliness, her good-fellowship, her trustfulness.
"No, I can do it; but it is very queer." I rang the bell. "You have said that before, and I say, 'It is queer; queerer than you imagine. One thing I must ask you before you go. When you had the attack in the theatre did you see things double?" "Yes," she answered. "But how did you know? I felt as though I was intoxicated; but I had taken nothing whatever." "Excuse me, you had taken egg-and-milk.
Here is the glass out of which you drank it." I picked up the glass, which had been left on the table, and which still contained about a spoonful of egg-and-milk. Yvette entered in response to my summons. "Mademoiselle has returned soon," the girl began lightly. "Yes." The two women looked at each other. I hastened to the door, and held it open for Rosa to pass out. She did so.
"You see this glass. What did you put in it?" "The cook put egg-and-milk into it." "I ask what you put in it?" "I, monsieur? Nothing." "You are lying, my girl. Your mistress has been poisoned." "I swear " "I should advise you not to swear. You have twice attempted to poison your mistress. Why did you do it?" "But this is absurd." "Does your mistress use eyedrops when she sings at the Opéra?"
