«Oh, Charles! I did not expect this of you. This is the purest Suggery! Who saw him go? Somebody said 'Good-night' and walked away down the street. And you believe it was Levy because Freke didn't go out of his way to explain that it wasn't.»
«D'you mean that Freke walked cheerfully out of the house to Park Lane, and left Levy behind — dead or alive — for Cummings to find?»
«We have Cummings's word that he did nothing of the sort. A few minutes after the steps walked away from the house, Freke rang the library bell and told Cummings to shut up for the night.»
«Then —»
«Well — there's a side door to the house, I suppose — in fact, you know there is — Cummings said so — through the hospital.»
«Yes — well, where was Levy?»
«Levy went up into the library and never came down. You've been in Freke's library. Where would you have put him?»
«In my bedroom next door.»
«Then that's where he did put him.»
«But suppose the man went in to turn down the bed?»
