“None at all. I was only there one night.”
“Now, sir, I am given to understand that your friend, Mr. Fensden, induced you to go abroad for the reason that he feared you were falling in love with your model. On what sort of terms was Mr. Fensden himself with the girl in question?”
“On very friendly terms,” said Godfrey.
“Was he in love with her, do you think?”
“I am certain he was not,” Godfrey replied, shaking his head. “I do not think he would ever be in love with anybody.”
“And you are quite sure that he saw nothing of the girl from the day he bade her good-bye in your studio, until Monday, when he inspected her dead body in the mortuary?”
“I am sure of it,” Godfrey answered.
“And when did he return to England, for I understand he has been abroad until lately?”
“On Thursday morning. I met him at the Mahl Stick Club an hour or two after his return from Paris.”
