“No, sir—not regularly.”
“How often, then?”
“Now and then, sir—perhaps once a week.”
“Tell us what you know of Mr. Anderson’s goings-in-and-out.”
“Well, sir, I might see him two nights running; then I mightn’t see him again for perhaps a week or two. Irregular, as you might say, sir.”
“You say ‘nights.’ Do I understand that you never see Mr. Anderson except at night?”
“Yes, sir. I’ve never seen him except at night. Always about the same time, sir.”
“What time?”
“Just about midnight, sir.”
“Very well. Do you remember the midnight of June 21st-22nd?”
