Eloisa's Adventure
““How?”
“He was found dead in the conservatory out back. He had ingested some poison apparently.”
Eloisa frowned. “What kind of poison?”
Simeon frowned at her. “Strychnine.”
“How?”
She looked at him but could tell from the blank look on his face that he didn’t understand. “Did he eat something with it in, or was it in his drink?”
“Does it matter?”
“Well, yes. I mean, if it is in something he has drunk, he could have misread medicine bottles or something. Some medicines have strychnine in them, y...ou know. If he took too much of a medicine that contained Strychnine, it could conceivably poison him.”
Simeon’s respect for her grew. “As far as I know, he wasn’t on any medication.”
Although he didn’t tell her, he decided to take another look through his uncle’s belongings for any trace medicine. Before he left for Cumbria, he was also going to take the time to speak to his uncle’s doctor to see if George had been on any powders or anything.
He turned his attention back to the woman in his arms.MoreLess
