“Can you be a little more precise?” he asked.
“Anyone who knew the flat well. You did, for instance, didn't you, Giles?”
“Yes, I knew you kept it in your bureau, Tony. I think it was nay suggestion. But didn't I also suggest a lock and key?”
“I daresay you did, but I lost the key ages ago, and anyway I never remembered to keep it locked up.”
“Do you think your half-brother knew, Miss Vereker?”
She reflected. “Roger? I should think he must have found out, because he told me himself he'd been through my bureau to see if I kept any money there. Kenneth, is that what you're driving at? Do you think Roger took it?”
“Yes, of course I do,” replied Kenneth. “My friend-the Superintendent, on the other hand, thinks I took it.”
Hannasyde paid no heed to this, but merely asked Antonia if she knew the number of the pistol.
“On your licence, Tony,” prompted Giles. “Can you lay your hand on that?”
“It's sure to be somewhere in my desk,” she said hopefully.
