“What did he say to that?”
“Oh, he got mad and said he was bound to have his money back some way.”
“Did you win his money?”
“No, sir.”
“Who did?”
“I think Lieutenant Easter must have won it, for he was the only one playing with us.”
“While Manning was in your room did he know that the key of my safe was in your possession?”
“I think he did.”
“What makes you think so?”
“Because it fell from my pocket when I drew out my handkerchief while we were playing cards, and I said then that I guessed it was not safe there, and that I should hide it in my room.”
