"Where were you?"
"I was at Brighton, staying with some friends of mine."
"Did any one come to see you on that day?"
"Yes. Mr. Tennant."
"By what train did he return to town?"
"By the 8.40."
"Have you any particular reason for remembering that it was by that train he returned to town?"
"Well, for one thing, Jack Cooper and I went up to the station to see him off."
"What happened while you were at the station seeing him off?"
Mr. Baxendale told of my getting into Tommy's carriage. He answered the questions which were put to him as if he was desirous of giving as little information as he possibly could, which did not make it better for Tommy. He had not noticed me particularly. Did not think he should know me again. Had seen the body at East Grinstead. Had not recognised it. Could see no likeness. Still, it might be the same woman. Could not swear that it was, or that it was not. Had really not taken sufficient notice of the woman who had got into the train.
