nine o’clock
Arthur , she said , had been depressed for several days , and at dinner had hardly spoken at all . He had not , however , objected to the dance . He had , indeed , seemed strangely determined to go , although she had pleaded a headache . At nine o'clock he went upstairs , apparently to dress . She was in her room , with the door shut , when she heard a shot . She ran in and found him lying on the floor of his dressing-room with his revolver behind him . The governess was still out .
