“Have you seen anyone touching it in the library?”

“Nobody touches it but me and Mr. Joel once!”

“Did you ever notice how many arrows there were with the bow in the library?”

“I’m quite sure I didn’t, sir!” declared Susan.

“Have you seen anyone except the household around the house today, Susan?”

“No, sir. I haven’t.”
