"Yes, sir, in the library."
"Did he say anything?"
"He asked me about a letter I had mailed."
"Did you observe the address on the letter?"
"Yes, sir. It was addressed to Mrs. George Collins, at Delmore Park."
"Was the lady whom you admitted that night Mrs. Collins?"
"I don't believe so. I don't know Mrs. Collins, but it couldn't have been she, for Mr. Whitmore did not seem to know the visitor."
"Thank you," said Britz, extending his card. "If Mr. Beard should discharge the servants, please call me up at Police Headquarters."
"Yes, sir," promised the butler.
Britz donned his hat and coat.
