“Want to talk to Ray alone?” she asked.
“We’d like to, if you don’t mind! Won’t be long!”
She went into her own room at once. The intruders found chairs and sat down to face Graham’s inquiring regard.
“Think back, Graham,” said Landis. “Can you remember anything to indicate that a member of this household dislikes you? It doesn’t matter who it is—anybody at all?”
“Dislikes me? I don’t know that anybody likes us especially! Harrison wanted us here and so we’ve been accepted. Since his death we’ve been left pretty well alone by the others. Miss Mount seems to have taken a shine to Ethel. As to the servants, I don’t know why they should dislike us!”
“I don’t mean you both. I mean you, personally.”
“Oh! You mean last night?” Graham thought a moment and shook his head. “We don’t exactly belong here, Ethel and I. But I don’t think anybody particularly dislikes either of us!”
“What about Miss Mount?”
“Do you mean—? Good night! Miss Mount?”
Landis sat back in his chair.
