Sellers thought that over for a minute, then laughed and said, “By George, I believe you are right.”
“I know I’m right,” Bertha snapped. “I wasn’t associated with the best legal brain in the country for several years for nothing.”
“That brings up a very interesting question. Exactly what was your purpose in entering the house?”
Bertha, doing some fast thinking, said triumphantly, “I had to let the bat out.”
“Ah, yes, the bat,” Sergeant Sellers said. “I’ll admit eluded you. You gave it a name, I believe. Freddie, wasp it?”
“That’s right.”
“Most interesting. That’s the tame bat?”
“Yes.”
“More and more interesting. And you came here to let out?”
“Yes.”
