"What did you do after supper? I suppose you finished about 11?"
"I suppose so," Peggy replied.
"Well—what did you do? The table, I think, was not cleared before you retired to bed—that is so, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"How did you spend the time between 11 and 12.30?"
"We were talking."
"No doubt you told the waiter not to clear away so that you should not be disturbed?"
"I really forget," Peggy said.
"At anyrate, you were not disturbed?"
"No."
