The room was a corner one with two windows, one opening out on the Drive, the other on the side
street. Besides these, there were no outer openings except the door to the hall; the private bathroom
being enclosed and having no windows. Ricori and the two inspected the room minutely, keeping away, I
noticed, from the windows. He asked me then if the room could be darkened. Much interested, I
nodded. The lights were turned off, the three went to the windows, opened them and carefully scrutinized
the six-story sheer drop to both streets. On the side of the Drive there is nothing but the open space
above the park. Opposite the other side is a church.
"It is at this side you must watch," I heard Ricori say; he pointed to the church. "You can turn the lights on
now, Doctor."
He started toward the door, then turned.
