“I want to find out a little more about that train first. You were in the depot at nine-o-five?”
“I was at the depot by nine o’clock.”
“Where in the depot?”
“I was standing out where it was cool.”
“Oh,” he said as though he’d trapped me into some damaging admission, “you weren’t in the depot?”
“Did I ever say that I was?”
He frowned. “You were waiting outside?”
“That’s right.”
“How long before the train came?”
“I don’t know. Five minutes, perhaps ten.”
