“What time was that?”
“Eleven by the clock—no earlier. It was what you call eleven less a quarter.”
“I see, about 10.45.”
“Yes. I go back to my room and I wait. I leave door open and soon I see gentleman come out of writing-room and go downstairs. Then I go in. I write my letters.”
“Do you know when that was?”
“I go back to writing-room a few minutes after I go back to my room. About eleven of the clock—it was then.”
“And how long did you stay there?”
“I stay there long time—what you call the three-quarters of hour, perhaps.”
“And then you came back to your room?”
“Yes. I come back here.”
