"At that hour! Alone!"
"Yes. I am an actress; I am not afraid. And I wanted the air."
"You came straight home?"
"Yes."
"While you were out did any neighbor see you? Did you speak to any one?"
"On the way to the post-box I saw Mrs. Johnson, who lives two doors below and who had told us about the house being for rent. She is the only person whom I know in the neighborhood. On the way back I met no one."
"Then no one saw you re-enter the house?"
"I think not."
"Did the maid let you in?"
"No, I had my key. The maids had gone to bed."
