"From whom did you understand this?"
"From Mrs. Arnold herself," said Hodgkins, looking toward that lady.
"You told her the hour?"
"Half-past two."
"And Mrs. Arnold called on Floyd, I believe, at about 2:45?"
"I believe so. I am not informed as to the exact minute."
"Was she there by appointment with you?"
"Not exactly. However, I had informed her of the time."
"As you stated before. Then Floyd only knew of your proposed visit at second hand through Mrs. Arnold?"
"I had not informed him."
