“When do you think it was taken?”
“Last night.”
“What makes you think so?”
“I am a sound sleeper, and last night you know was very dark. I awoke with a start, and seemed to hear footsteps. I looked towards the door, and saw a form gliding from the room.”
“Why didn’t you jump out of bed and seize the intruder whoever he was?”
“Because I was not sure but it was all a dream. I think now it was some thief who had just robbed me.”
“I think so too. Could you make out anything of his appearance?”
“I could only see the outlines of his figure. He was a tall man. He must have taken the money from under my bed.”
“Did any one know that you had money concealed there?”
“I don’t think I ever mentioned it.”
