Caroline’s belief that Mrs. Ferrars committed suicide out of guilt over her husband’s murder. Although Dr. Sheppard argues that Caroline’s assertions are nonsense, he secretly believes she could be right

The narrator is careful not to indulge his sister's suspicions by reminding her that if he can declare Mrs. Ferrars’ death as nothing more than an accidental overdose, there may not have to be an investigation into the event at all.

Please post your questions separately.
