“What window was it through which she looked?”
Miss Lucas pointed directly across the street and answered:
“That one.”
She had designated the window which Nick had previously noticed to be on a line with the open window of Redway’s private office and the desk of the dead girl.[{32}]
Miss Lucas supplemented her information by saying:
“Our offices are directly above these, and I was looking down at the woman—or rather at the place from which she had disappeared a minute before when Mr. Grote called me.”
“Could you see the woman’s features?”
“Distinctly when she first came to the window.”
“Had you ever seen her before?”
“Only once.”
