But what finally brought about the
crisis was this: A sitter had given
Mrs. Delario a ten-dollar bill in pay

hastily to her room for change, and
returning had LEFT her bedroom door
ajar and a quantity of bills lying on
the bureau which she hadn't stopped to
put back into her purse. The moment
she had shown the sitter out she weht

Claire in her room. Claire was in the
