“Most assuredly. It will give me the greatest of pleasure. What do you want me to do?”
“Mr. King ought to know about that entry in your log.”
“He ought to see the log itself. Leave it to me. I’ll show him the entry, and I can explain things to him better than perhaps you could yourself.”
“If you will, I can never adequately express my gratitude,” said Willie.
“Never mind about that. It will be a pleasure to me to do it.”
So it came about that the next day saw Mr. Reynolds closeted with Mr. King. The log-book was exhibited and explained.
“You heard every call he made?” inquired Mr. King.
“I am certain of it.”
“And you are sure he was calling between the hours of 12:15 and 1:00 P. M.?”
“Absolutely certain.”
