“The office is closed up at that time?”

“The janitor generally takes it to clean up. Sometimes he don’t get in till later.”

“Do you lock up when you go away?”

“No, the janitor does that.”

“Who leaves the first generally?”

“Mr. Byke, when he’s here.”

“And when he’s not here?”

“Why, Mr. Gay. Mr. Gay has been out a good deal since Mr. Byke went to Europe. He went away to-day about eleven o’clock, and told me he wasn’t coming back, but he did come, late as it was.”

“Are you always the last to leave?[{25}]

“No, sir! Sometimes Mr. Redway stays here later than five, but he never keeps me.”
