“Straight up the Lane, sir.”
“Do you know where Mr. Anderson’s rooms in the Temple are?”
“Not exactly, sir, but I understood in Fountain Court.”
“Now, on that night in question, did Mr. Anderson leave again by your lodge?”
“No, sir.”
“You heard of the discovery of the body of a dead man in Middle Temple Lane next morning?”
“I did, sir.”
“Did you connect that man with the gentleman in the grey suit?”
“No, sir, I didn’t. It never occurred to me. A lot of the gentlemen who live in the Temple bring friends in late of nights; I never gave the matter any particular thought.”
“Never mentioned it to anybody until now, when you were sent for to come here?”
