“Not within ten miles—twelve, perhaps, would be more accurate?”
“Was anyone with you?”
“Yes; Mrs. Patrick Ives was with me.”
“You have a way of fixing the time?”
“I have.”
“I will ask you to do so later. Will you tell us now at what time you left the Rosemont Country Club?”
“At a little before six, I think. We dined at quarter to seven, and my wife always dressed before dinner.”
“Had you noticed Mr. Farwell in conversation with Mrs. Ives before you left?”
“Yes; my wife had called my attention to the fact that they seemed deeply absorbed in a conversation on the club steps.”
“Just how did she call your attention to it?”
