No, I don't know of any one so ill as to require such treatment.
Well, at any rate there is some one who is in the habit of walking about the park by night?
[Smiling and shaking his head.] No, Professor—that would be against the rules.
[Impatiently.] Good Heavens, Rubek, I told you so this morning—you must have dreamt it.
[Drily.] Indeed? Must I? Thank you! [Turning to the INSPECTOR.] The fact is, I got up last night—I couldn't sleep—and I wanted to see what sort of night it was—
[Attentively.] To be sure—and then—?
I looked out at the window—and caught sight of a white figure in there among the trees.
[Smiling to the INSPECTOR.] And the Professor declares that the figure was dressed in a bathing costume—
PROFESSOR RUBEK. —or something like it, I said. Couldn't distinguish very clearly. But I am sure it was something white.
Most remarkable. Was it a gentleman or a lady?
