"This 'ere is my property, young man, so you mind yer tongue. I come 'ere every week to collect the rent, not that I 'aven't wasted me time coming 'ere the larst two weeks."
"You came here today and found the body?"
"Yes, I did."
"How long ago was that?"
"Not 'arf an hour ago, it wasn't. You oughter know."
"And then you went straight out for the police, I suppose."
"I went an' phoned Scotland Yard, that's wot I done, knowing as it's their business to catch murderers, an' a good thing, too. They got you, all right."
"You didn't scream or anything?" Simon asked interestedly.
