“You were worried about your brother, weren’t you?”
“No more so than I have been on other occasions.”
“You knew he’d gone out to get drunk?”
“Yes. I surmised that.”
“Let me ask you this,” Larry Sampson said. “Do you remember doing any shoplifting?”
She hesitated a moment, then said, “Yes.”
“You do?”
“Yes.”
“Where? When?”
“Yesterday afternoon, or rather yesterday noon, just before I met Mr. Mason.”
