“How did you get in?” he asked.

“I rang the bell several times and Jane finally answered it.”

“What did she say to you?”

“Nothing. She’d been busy in the kitchen. She went right back to her work.”

“Did she know that anything had happened?”

“No. She seemed entirely calm and went back to the kitchen without saying anything.”

“Was the door to the library closed?”

“Yes.”

“There’s another door at the end of the hallway that shuts off the kitchen, isn’t there?”

“There are two doors. The dining room’s between.”
