Lucas Left Liskeard House All of us
by car 10.15
Arrived home 10.45 Police satisfied
and stayed there
“And that’s everybody.”
“Yes, and I don’t know that we’re much further. There is no one on
this list you can possibly suspect, except perhaps Morgan, and he can
hardly have done it unless Winter was in it too.”
“I don’t know about that.”
“Then whom do you suspect.”
“No one and every one. I want time to think that list over. Leave it
with me, and I’ll put on my considering cap, and tell you to-morrow.”
“Don’t you go suspecting poor Winter, like the police.”
“My dear Joan, this is most undetective-like advice. You ought to make
a point of suspecting everybody.”
“I make an exception of Winter.”
“I’m afraid you want to make an exception of everybody. I have a far
more suspicious nature.”
“Is there anything I can do while you’re thinking it over?”
