"You're sure the woman got into your cab alone?"
"Absolutely, sir. She came through the waiting-room alone, carrying that very same suit-case—"
"You're positive it was that suit-case?"
"Yes, sir—that is, as positive as I can be. You see I was on the lookout for a fare, but wasn't expecting one, on account of the fact that this here train was an accommodation, and folks that usually come in on it take street-cars and not a taxi. Well, the minute I seen a good-lookin', well-dressed woman comin' out the door, I sort of noticed. It surprised me first off, because I asked myself what she was doing on that train."
"You thought it was peculiar?"
"Not peculiar, exactly; but sort of—of—interesting."
"I see. Go ahead!"
"Well, she was carrying that suit-case, and she seemed in a sort of a hurry. She walked straight out of the door and toward the curb, and—"
"Did she appear to be expecting some one?"
