“That’s all.”
“And did you get them?”
“Yes.”
“In the dark? You must have had trouble in finding them?”
“Not at all. Only safety matches are allowed here, and they are put in a receptacle at the side of each door. I had but to open the kitchen door, feel along the jamb, find this receptacle, and pull the box out. I’m well used to all parts of the house.”
“And you did this?”
“I have said so.”
“May I ask which door you allude to?”
“The one communicating with the front hall.”
“Where did you light your first match?”
