“Mr. Stimson, sir. Susan wasn’t fit for it with the body lying there and all. She would have gone off again.”
“When did he clean up, do you know?”
“As soon as Susan came to her senses.”
“Was that before the police arrived?”
“Oh, yes, sir. It was before he started serving dinner to Mrs. Graham and the two young gentlemen.”
“Ever hear your employer quarreling with anyone?”
Helen stared, then laughed.
“Plenty of times, sir! He quarreled with almost everyone. Once he bumped into me in the hall and swore at me. I gave him notice at once. So then he tried to kiss me and I slapped his face.”
“You’re still here,” observed Landis.
Helen dimpled faintly.
