Mr. Dodd, the servants...
Now, how many were there in the house?
Well, to the best of my belief, there were only the old butler and his wife.
The family seemed to live in the simplest fashion.
There was no servant then in the detached house?
Unless the little man with the beard acted as such.
He seemed to be quite a superior person.
You mentioned seeing him sitting by the fire reading a paper.
What paper was it?
Well, can that matter?
It could be most essential.
Well, it took no notice.
Possibly you observed whether it was a broadleaf paper...
Or of that smaller type which one associates with weeklies?
Since you mention it, it wasn't very large.
Now, had you any indication that food was conveyed from the one house to the other?
Well, I did see old Ralph carrying a basket down the garden walk and going in the direction of this house.
Did you make any local inquiries?
