Who killed him I know no more than any one else . `` On Christmas Eve I was ill , and wrote to Lydia to come up . She met me at the Pegalls ' , but as I felt ill , I left there at six o'clock , and Lydia stayed with the family all night . At seven o'clock Mrs. Clear came to me with Ferruci , and brought back the cloak which I gave afterwards to Rhoda . She wanted to see her husband again , but I refused to let her risk the visit . Ferruci came to tell me that he was arranging to place Vrain -- who was becoming too violent to be restrained -- in the private asylum of Dr. Jorce , at Hampstead . Mrs. Clear was to go with him , and we conversed about the matter .
