“Without even a maid?”
“Yis, sor.”
“Surely that is an unusual thing for a rich young lady to do?”
“Yis, sor,” replied McGorry, apologetically; “she has never done it before. Maybe the maid was taken on by the train.”
“Did Miss Derwent bring any luggage?”
“Nothing but a hand-bag, sor.”
“And yet she stayed two nights! Do you know any reason for her staying here so long?”
“No, sor, unless it was she had some shopping to do. A good many parcels come for her yistidy afternoon.”
“Have you a key to her apartment?”
“Yis, sor; when families goes away for the summer they leaves one key with me and takes the other with them.”
