Molly's teeth clicked:
"Jim would have half-killed him. It's probably a good thing he was in town. What did you do?"
"Nothing. Sprowl went all right."
"What did Mary say to you?"
"I didn't see her."
"You didn't see her?"
"No."
Molly's eyes grew rounder:
"Where is Chester Ledwith? He didn't go with you into the house, did he?"
"Yes, he did."
