Knox kept guard at the stairs, Pear

A Dispute In Progress.
Clearly, some sort OF alteration
was going on inside. She recognized
Carslake's voice. The other voice she
assumed to belong to the strange lit

ahead Of them.
What was passing inside, she could
not discover exactly.
She heard the little man cry ou'

They were trapped-closeS in this
room with a murdered man. And
there seemed no possible avenue Of

Moreover, to add to the horror OF
the situation, they could expect no

where they were!
Carslake let himself out OF the
