“There’s something I don’t know. Ah! That’s why you kept the papers from me.” Quickly he turned to the bell.

He pressed the bell button savagely.
“I wouldn’t believe you under oath,” he muttered.
“I want all this week’s papers, and I want ’em quick!” he snapped at the servant. “Every one! Last night’s too!”
He walked to the window, but turned again as a knock came upon the door.
“I can’t find the papers, sir,” excused the maid.
