"Well, then, call up your memories of the way your aunt's house is situated. Recall the hour, and acknowledge that, if Miss Dare was with her, she must have been in the dining-room."
"There is no doubt about that."
"Now, how many windows has the dining-room?"
"One."
"How situated?"
"It is on the same side as the door."
"There is none, then, which looks down to that place where you leaped the fence?"
"No."
"How account for her seeing that little incident, then, of your stumbling?"
"She might have come to the door, stepped out, and so seen me."
