‘There is no mistake about that, Prince?’
‘None whatever.’
‘One more question: Did you go out that night?’
‘I did. I went to the opera.’
‘What time did you return?’
‘About two in the morning.’
‘Did you note if the door of the safe in your sleeping apartment was closed then?’
‘I haven’t a doubt about it.’
‘But you didn’t try the door?’
‘No.’
