The young baronet Sir Eric Roding, of Roding Hall, near the little village of Ashleigh St. Mary in Suffolk, was dead.
He had died suddenly of heart failure, in what had seemed to everyone a mild attack of influenza. He had only been confined to his bed for three days and had been attended by the kindly old doctor from the village, who had brought him into the world eight and twenty years before.
