The bottle was so small that it lay easily in the palm of her hand.
"I will stay and keep you company till the time comes." It was then not ten o'clock. Inquiries which I had made, at various times, of Betteredge and Mr. Blake, had led me to the conclusion that the dose of laudanum given by Mr. Candy could not possibly have been administered before eleven.
