Cyril watched over Warren's shoulder as he examined the contents of the
bottles.  "That's definitely arsenic," he pointed out, nodding at the
gritty substance.  He squinted at the pill bottle and added, "And I
don't know, but it almost looks like it was in that bottle, too, at
some point."

Cyril mused, "You know, I did see him stumble and catch himself on the
door frame, but I didn't actually see his hand afterward.  I'm not
certain the way he caught himself would have caused that injury
