Was

the

dagger

in

its

place

when

you

were

looking

over

the

contents

?

"

he

asked

.

"

I

don

’

t

know

,

"

I

said

.

"

I

can

’

t

say

I

remember

noticing

it

–

but

,

of

course

,

it

may

have

been

there

all

the

time

.

"

"

We

’

d

better

get

hold

of

the

housekeeper

,

"

remarked

the

inspector

,

and

pulled

the

bell

.

A

few

minutes

later

Miss

Russell

,

summoned

by

Parker

,

entered

the

room

.

"

I

don

’

t

think

I

went

near

the

silver

table

,

"

she

said

,

when

the

inspector

had

posed

his

question

.

"

I

was

looking

to

see

that

all

the

flowers

were

fresh

.

Oh

!

yes

,

I

remember

now

.

The

silver

table

was

open

–

which

it

had

no

business

to

be

,

and

I

shut

the

lid

down

as

I

passed

.

"

She

looked

at

him

aggressively

.

"

I

see

,

"

said

the

inspector

.

"

Can

you

tell

me

if

this

dagger

was

in

its

place

then

?

"

Miss

Russell

looked

at

the

weapon

composedly

.

"

I

can

’

t

say

I

’

m

sure

,

"

she

replied

.

"

I

didn

’

t

stop

to

look

.

I

knew

the

family

would

be

down

any

minute

,

and

I

wanted

to

get

away

.

"

"

Thank

you

,

"

said

the

inspector

.

There

was

just

a

trace

of

hesitation

in

his

manner

,

as

though

he

would

have

liked

to

question

her

further

,

but

Miss

Russell

clearly

accepted

the

words

as

a

dismissal

,

and

glided

from

the

room

.

"

Rather

a

Tartar

,

I

should

fancy

,

eh

?

"

said

the

inspector

,

looking

after

her

.

"

Let

me

see

.

This

silver

table

is

in

front

of

one

of

the

windows

,

I

think

you

said

,

doctor

?

"

Raymond

answered

for

me

.

"

Yes

,

the

left

-

hand

window

.

"

"

And

the

window

was

open

?

"

"

They

were

both

ajar

.

"

"

Well

,

I

don

’

t

think

we

need

go

into

the

question

much

further

.

Somebody

–

I

’

ll

just

say

somebody

–

could

get

that

dagger

any

time

he

liked

,

and

exactly

when

he

got

it

doesn

’

t

matter

in

the

least

.

I

’

ll

be

coming

up

in

the

morning

with

the

chief

constable

,

Mr

.

Raymond

.

Until

then

,

I

’

ll

keep

the

key

of

that

door

.

I

want

Colonel

Melrose

to

see

everything

exactly

as

it

is

.

I

happen

to

know

that

he

’

s

dining

out

the

other

side

of

the

county

,

and

,

I

believe

,

staying

the

night

…

"

We

watched

the

inspector

take

up

the

jar

.
