No signs of violence were to be discovered upon Sir Charles's person, and though the doctor's evidence pointed to an almost incredible facial distortion--so great that Dr. Mortimer refused at first to believe that it was indeed his friend and patient who lay before him--it was explained that that is a symptom which is not unusual in cases of dyspnoea and death from cardiac exhaustion.
Aucun signe de violence n’a été relevé sur la personne de Sir Charles. La déposition du médecin insiste sur l’incroyable déformation du visage (si grande que le docteur Mortimer se refusa d’abord à croire que c’était son malade et ami qui gisait sous ses yeux).
