Then Lord Simon and started

Presently I began telling him
about the odd questions which
Sergeant Beef had put to Will

had gone. I said that we could
not understand what he was get

"You don't know the police as I

"But he seems pretty certain
that he knows who is guilty"

Lord Simon sighed with some

"Why Norris 2"
"Well-one can only have dim
glimpses at the official mind. But
I should guess it was Norris.
You see, Beef doesn't know how
the murderer got out of that room.
But Norris was at the door when
YOU and Thurston and Williams
reached it. He, according to
Beef's point of view, was nearest
to the crime. Therefore he was
guilty."

"My dear chap, when you've
seen as much of them as have
you'll know that they don't think

"Good heavensw I said, with
visions of all the murderers in
England being arrested, tried and

"Of course" conceded Lord
Simon, ''here and there in the

than intelligence is needed in a

"Just so," agreed. "I suppose
you had to have imagination to

I had, as a matter of fact, al
most forgotten those ropes, and
now that I remembered them they
seemed, in the light of last nights

ever.
"But, Plimsoll," I said, "about

it was impossible for anyone to

the time Williams pushed the win

that a man would have had time
to murder Mary Thurston, cross
