"I understand that they want to go back to London
this evening. There's no objection to that, I suppose?"
"You will let me have their names and addresses in case I want to
communicate with them?"
"Of course. One of them is staying on, if you would like to see
him later, but they only came back from their golf as we crossed
the hall."
"That's all right, Mr. Cayley. Well, now then, let's go back to
three o'clock. Where were you when Robert arrived?"
Cayley explained how he had been sitting in the hall, how Audrey
had asked him where the master was, and how he had said that he
had last seen him going up to the Temple.
"She went away, and I went on with my book. There was a step on
the stairs, and I looked up to see Mark coming down. He went
into the office, and I went on with my book again. I went into
the library for a moment, to refer to another book, and when I
was in there I heard a shot. At least, it was a loud bang, I
wasn't sure if it was a shot. I stood and listened. Then I came
slowly to the door and looked out.
