“Good idea, Gerald. Then what happened?”
“Then I remembered that I’d have to hurry to get to practice on time, and so I——”
“Picked up the cup and put it away. Where did you put it?”
“I didn’t touch it, Alf! I just left it where it was and went over to the gym.”
“Did you close the door as you went out?” asked Tom.
“I—I think so. I’m not sure. I was in a hurry, you know.”
“You don’t remember hearing it close behind you?”
“N-no, I don’t. But I’m sure I almost closed it, Tom.”
Tom arose and went into the hall, leaving the door some six inches ajar. Then he returned and opened it wider, and finally he came back, closing it behind him.
