“And she offered no explanation?”
“None at all.”
“Did any occur to you?”
“Only that I thought she had not heard him and was really startled.”
“You mean that you thought that at the time; but that afterward you changed your mind?”
“No, sir. I did not change my mind.”
“Do you think that she recognized in the valet a person whom she had seen and known before?”
“Yes; I think so now.”
“Why?”
“Because—well, I have no good reason, only that many times since then I have seen her look strangely at the valet when she did not know that she was observed.”
