Kent rose at her approach and bowed formally . `` Take this chair , '' he suggested , and not until she was seated did Helen realize he had placed her where the light fell full upon her . `` I asked you to come here , '' he began , as she waited for him to speak , `` Because I must have your confidence -- if I am to aid you . Did you meet , recognize , and talk to Jimmie Turnbull in your house sometime between Monday midnight and his arrest on Tuesday morning ? '' She colored hotly , then paled . `` My testimony at the inquest , '' -- she commenced , but he gave her no opportunity to add more . `` Your testimony there does not cover the question , '' he explained .
