She was due for another shock as Penny dropped the revolver upon the dresser.

“Penny, where did you get that thing?” she demanded nervously.

“Not so loud or someone may hear you,” Penny warned. “It came from Laponi’s room, and that’s not all I found either.”

She drew forth the letter and the missing key. Rosanna stared incredulously.

“Surely they can’t be mine, Penny.”

“I suspect they are. Take a look at this letter and tell me if you notice anything wrong.”

Rosanna studied the letter briefly, then shook her head.

“It reads just like the one I received.”

“That’s the point. Notice the name at the top.”
