"Yes. The car had not been used for a week. I could find no trace of an entry having been made from the garden, but the latch of one of the French windows of the drawing-room was unfastened. When I saw it this window could be pushed open from outside. No one seems to have undone it that morning, so the fact is significant." Quarles nodded. "Besides the servants only five people slept in the house that night--Lady Rusholm, her son, two elderly ladies--cousins of Sir Grenville's who had come from Yorkshire for the funeral--and a Mr. Thompson, a friend of the family who was staying in the house when Sir Grenville died." "Who closed the windows after the body was taken to the drawing-room?" asked Quarles. "One of the undertaker's men." "Is he positive he fastened them?" "He is, but under the circumstances he is not anxious to swear to it." "And the door of the room, had that been kept locked?" "Yes. The key was in Sir Arthur's possession." "Who first entered the room this morning?" "Sir Arthur when he took in two or three wreaths which arrived late last night. The room was just as it had been left on the previous day. The wreaths and crosses were not disarranged in any way." "And there were only two pieces of lead in the coffin when it was opened?" queried Zena. "A large lump and a small one," I answered. "Couldn't they have been packed in such a way that they would not have slipped?" "Of course they could. No doubt that was the intention, but the work was badly done because the thieves did it hurriedly," I answered. "One of your foolish questions, Zena," said Quarles, looking keenly at her. He always declared that her foolish inquiries put him on the right road. "It is a good thing the lead did slip, or the gruesome theft might never have been discovered," she said. "Was the coffin a very elaborate one?" Quarles asked, after nodding an acquiescence to Zena's remark. "No, quite a plain one." "Has the drawing-room more than one door?" "Only one into the hall. There is a small room out of the drawing-room--a small drawing-room in fact. Lady Rusholm does her correspondence there. It can only be reached by going through the large room, and the door between the rooms was locked. Sir Arthur got the key from his mother and opened the door for me." "What could any one want with a dead body?" asked Zena. "If we could answer that question we should be nearing the end of the affair," said Quarles. "Years ago there were two men--Burke and Hare--who--" "Oh, the day of resurrectionists is past," I said.
