“When did you arrive?” he asked in a cautious voice.
“This morning.”
“What! You got here before we did!”
“Yes. I followed Souchez and Alost. Do you know who they were following?”
“No.”
“One of your guests at dinner this evening.”
“Skeel!”
Renoux nodded:
“Yes. You saw them start for the train. Skeel was on the train. But the conference at your studio delayed me. So I came up by automobile last night.”
