Used in print (Mignon G. Eberhart, The Cup, the Blade...)She was deeply , horribly sure that Lucien had filled it with opium . Now wait a minute , she told herself , think_about it ; Lucien is not the only person in this house who could have put opium in that coffee . She had lost a bottle of opium - but that was on the trip from New_Orleans . It would have been easy to identify as opium by its odor . It was not very reasonable to believe that Lucien had procured unprocurable opium and come_back to Honotassa with a formed plan to murder her . Related terms |
