"From the buffet also. We always keep a supply in one of the lower cupboards, sir."
"Did you take it out?"
"I think so, sir."
"Did you take the first one you came to and hand it directly to Mr. Leighton?"
"I believe so."
"Was the room light or dark? Could you see plainly where to lay your hand, or did you have to feel about for a glass?"
"I don't remember it as being any too light. There was only one gas-jet turned on, and the room is a big one. But I saw the glasses plainly enough. I know just where to find them, you see, sir."
"Very good. Then you probably noticed whether the one you took out was clean."
"They are always clean. I wear my spectacles when I wash them." The old butler seemed quite indignant.
"Yes, yes; then you have to wear spectacles?"
