"Well!" said Miss Norris dramatically.
As Antony re-entered the hall, the Inspector from Middleston was
just crossing into the library with Cayley. The latter stopped
and nodded to Antony.
"Wait a moment, Inspector. Here's Mr. Gillingham. He'd better
come with us." And then to Antony, "This is Inspector Birch."
Birch looked inquiringly from one to the other.
"Mr. Gillingham and I found the body together," explained Cayley.
"Oh! Well, come along, and let's get the facts sorted out a bit.
I like to know where I am, Mr. Gillingham."
"We all do."
"Oh!" He looked at Antony with interest. "D'you know where you
are in this case?"
"I know where I'm going to be."
"Where's that?"
"Put through it by Inspector Birch," said Antony with a smile.
The inspector laughed genially.
"Well, I'll spare you as much as I can. Come along."
They went into the library. The inspector seated himself at a
writing-table, and Cayley sat in a chair by the side of it.
Antony made himself comfortable in an armchair and prepared to be
interested.
