"Was that window open?"
"Yes, but not the blinds."
"Where does that door lead to?"
"Mrs. Langmore's dressing room. The door was open when they found her—as if she had come out and was trying to get downstairs."
"Humph!" The detective pushed the blinds of the window open and began to examine the carpet on the floor.
"We've looked around, but we couldn't see a thing," pursued the woman.
"We? Who?"
"The coroner and the police officers."
"Oh! You say the body was lying right here?"
"Yes—the head there, and the feet there. I suppose you are going to try to clear Miss Langmore, aren't you?" went on Mrs. Morse curiously.
