"Some one stated that Miss Sidney left here because she had been robbed."
The landlady's face flushed scarlet as she said:
"Who made the statement?"
No one answered.
"It's false," said the landlady, "and I should like to know who said she had been robbed."
"I said so."
The voice appeared to come from the old maid typewriter, and the landlady at once exclaimed:
"Miss Gaynor, did you state that Miss Sidney left here because she was robbed?"
"I did not," declared Miss Gaynor, indignantly.
"I said so," came a voice from the far end of the table.
