He looked keenly at the other. "That was all he said, huh? Just a rambling statement? Not like Sault that, he never rambles. Did he tell you that he killed Moropulos?"
Ronnie hesitated.
"He did! Try to speak the truth, will you? So he told you he had killed the Greco?"
"I didn't take him seriously. I thought he must be joking—"
"Fine joke, huh? Did Sault ever pull that kind of joke? You're not telling me the truth, Morelle—you'd better. I'm speaking as a friend. What did he come to talk to you about, huh? He never even knew you—had no dealings with you. Why should he come to you after he'd committed a murder?"
"I've told you what happened," said Ronnie desperately.
Again the quick scrutiny. "Well—we shall see."
Ronald waited for a dismissal.
"That sounds like the doctor's voice," he said suddenly.
Steppe strode to the door and opened it.
