“Who occupied this room yesterday?”
“A young man who comes here once a week, usually Thursday. He travels for a wholesale house.”
“Does he always have this room?”
“Oh, no, sir.”
“Then he does not leave his clothing or toilet articles here?”
“He does not.”
“How long since has a woman occupied the room?”
The clerk pondered a moment.
“At least two weeks,” he replied, at length. “It may be more than that.”
