"Eh?"
"I mean they didn't mind. Bede knew I was there."
Hunt shook his head. "Mr. Bede says to me that if I let anybody else in, he would have me arrested for killing Fullerton."
"That's nonsense, you know. When did he say that,--when I got in before?"
"No farther back than yesterday he said that."
"Has he been around again?"
"Yes, he has." There was something nervous and dogged about the man's manner that puzzled Lyon.
"Well, see here. I'll make it worth your while to let me in for an hour. You can go along to see I don't steal anything, if you like. I want to make sure of something I overlooked before."
"I tell you I can't, Mr. Lyon, even if I wanted to. The police have put a seal on the door. It can't be opened without their knowing."
"Then pass me in through the window."
