Just at first they hardly move at all, and then very, very
slowly they swing to well, that was the way the shadow moved, and
subconsciously I must have associated it with the movement of
that sort of door. By Jove!" He got up, and dusted his knees.
"Now, Bill, just to make sure, go in and close the door like
that. As an afterthought, you know; and very quietly, so that I
don't hear the click of it."
Bill did as he was told, and then put his head out eagerly to
hear what had happened.
"That was it," said Antony, with absolute conviction. "That was
just what I saw yesterday." He came out of the office, and
joined Bill in the little room.
"And now," he said, "let's try and find out what it was that Mr.
Cayley was doing in here, and why he had to be so very careful
that his friend Mr. Gillingham didn't overhear him."
CHAPTER XIII
The Open Window
Anthony's first thought was that Cayley had hidden something;
something, perhaps, which he had found by the body, and but that
was absurd. In the time at his disposal, he could have done no
more than put it away in a drawer, where it would be much more
open to discovery by Antony than if he had kept it in his pocket.
