“How do you now feel about it?”

“I am now sure.”

“Of what?”

“That you were here this morning under the name of Sibley,” replied Madame Victoria, now frowning slightly. “I cannot possibly imagine why you came here in disguise and under an assumed name, Detective Carter, yet I am convinced that you did so.”

“How did you acquire that knowledge?” Nick now demanded, ignoring her quiet rebuke.

“I answered that question for Mr. Sibley,” was the reply, with a covert sneer. “Hence there is no need for me to answer it for you.”

“You acquired it through your impressions?”

“Yes.”
