Her moth- er's with her.” “That's good. 1've been questioning the servants. They all declare that no one has been to the back door to- night. Your description of that stran- ger was rather vague.

I explained this rather halt- ingly to the inspector. “It was a rough, uneducated voice, you say? I agreed, but it occurred to me that the roughness had heen of an almost exaggerated quality. 1f, as the in- spector thought, the man had wished to hide his face, he might equally well have tried to disguise his voice. “Do you mind coming into the study with me again, doctor? There are one or two things I want to ask you.’ 1 acquiesced. Inspector Davis un- locked the door of the lobby, was passed through and he locked the door again behind him. “We don't want to be disturbed, he said grimly. “And we don’t want any eavesdropping either.
