"At the old man's hotel. He has been there all day."
"Has he made any further visits to the police?"
"He was at Scotland Yard this afternoon."
"And the young lady?"
"One of the waiters at the hotel, a friend of mine, told me that she is much better. She has had two doctors."
"And still lives?" said the cynical Milsom. "That makes four doctors she has seen in two days."
Van Heerden leant out of the car window and lowered his voice.
"The Fräulein Glaum, you saw her?"
"Yes, I told her that she must not come to your laboratory again until you sent for her. She asked when you leave."
