"Yes, I do," answered Master Benker, wondering why this was asked.
"And you read them sometimes?"
"Nearly always. I like to know what's going on. Mr. Wilson said I should make myself acquainted with everything."
"I'm sure he did," muttered Steel ironically. "Did you read any letter saying that Miss Kent had inherited a fortune? Miss Daisy Kent, who lived with Mr. Morley at Rickwell?"
Alexander thought for a moment. "Yes, I did. It was a letter to some lawyers in Sydney."
"Did you tell Mr. Wilson about it?"
"Yes, sir. He was always talking about people coming in for money, and I said that a girl called Miss Kent had come in for five thousand a year."
"I thought so. When did you tell Mr. Wilson this?"
"Three days after Christmas."
"Before he offered to serve the summons?"
