"Yes."
"You know that he made his escape when you all entered this house-but, no; I am forgetting. You were not here, When your men here entered this house, and were caught by the same sort of electric current that you have just now tested, Baron Mustushimi made his escape. He managed to break away, for he was too great a personal coward to enter the house with his men, and hung in the background so that he only got what came to him through the knob of the door. He got away from it and fled, leaving all his men to suffer while he escaped. Now, I want to know where he was likely to go, to hide himself."
"He has a house in the country-in Virginia."
"I know that, and he knows that I do. I was there once. He will recall the circumstance, and will not go there. Where else?"
"The house in D Street, southwest."
"Do you think he would be likely to go there?"
"More likely than elsewhere, sir."
"Why?"
"Because I think I am the only one of his men who knows about that place."
"Answer, you others! Did any of you know about that house, until you heard this man speak of it just now?"
