“Did you see any one else in the hall besides Miss Ada?”
“No one except Doctor Von Blon. He was in the lower hall getting into his coat when I called down.”
“Did he leave the house at once?”
“Why—yes.”
“You actually saw him pass through the door?”
“No‑o. But he was putting on his coat, and he had said good-by to Mrs. Greene and me. . . .”
“When?”
“Not two minutes before. I’d met him coming out of Mrs. Greene’s door just as I brought in the bouillon.”
“And Miss Sibella’s dog—did you notice it in the hall anywhere?”
“No; it wasn’t around when I was there.”
