"But what is it you want to know?"
"What you know; in the first place, if Ray Armitage said that he was coming here to meet his sister, and if he expected her to be here?"
"Well, no; he didn't say anything about his sister."
"Did he say anything about Dorothea?"
"Yes."
"That he was coming here to meet her?"
"Yes."
"And that he was going to take her with him this afternoon to the matinée?"
"Yes."
