"Were the other doors also unlocked?"
"Yes, sir. I have already testified that they were not locked," and Symonds looked bewildered.
"Are you sure none of the furniture was upset in Captain Lloyd's bedroom, Symonds?"
"Absolutely positive, sir."

"I will not detain you long, Mrs. Lane," said the judge advocate briskly. "Kindly tell the court what furniture was in Captain Lloyd's bedroom."
"Two beds, two chairs, a desk by the window, and two bureaus," replied Mrs. Lane, concisely and without hesitation.
"Are you sure that is all?"
"I am."
