“Did you see the pistol this evening?”
“I haven’t seen it since till now.[{29}]”
“It was on the floor, almost at the touch of Miss Langdon’s hand.”
“The one which hung down—had the glove on?”
“Yes.”
“You are mistaken, sir.”
“What do you mean?”
“I noticed the hand with the glove on when I went to look at her. There was no pistol near it.”
“You may not have noticed it.”
“I would have seen it if it had been there,” insisted Jack.
