“Then what did you do?”
“I ran outside. I joined Nealman and some of the other guests on the grounds, and went down with them to investigate.”
“You took part in the hunt through the grounds?”
“Yes. I beat back and forth with the rest.”
“And saw or heard nothing suspicious?”
“Something moved in the shrubbery, but we couldn’t locate it. Nealman thought afterward it was a raccoon or some other small animal.”
“You knew Mr. Florey?”
“I had never set eyes upon him before.”
“You’ve had long acquaintance with Mr. Nealman, however?”
