“You think there were two?”
“I do,” said Nick.
“Here together?”
“No. One came after the other had departed.”
“But why did he close the hall door after letting them out?” questioned Fallon, a bit doubtfully. “Mrs. Kane’s statements imply that she usually found it open in the morning.”
“I don’t think that he let them out, not both of them at least,” said Nick. “Here is another door.”
“Ah, I see.”
Nick pointed to the portière hanging across it.
“He may have let the first visitor out this way, instead of by the front or side door,” said he. “This door leading into the hall, in that case, still would have been closed.”
“I see the point.”
