Excuse me, there was no one in Number Five during that fifteen minutes, and the party who had engaged Number Seven did not come.
gpt
Ah! Then if any stranger went into Number Six during that fifteen minutes he must have come from the banquet room?
human
Yes, sir.
gpt
By this door, _B?_
human
That's the only way he could have come without my seeing him.
gpt
And if he went out from Number Six afterwards, I mean if he left the hotel, he must have passed you in the corridor?
human
Exactly.
gpt
Now, _did_ anyone pass you in the corridor, anyone except the lady?
human
Yes, sir, answered the waiter eagerly,
gpt
Going out?
human
Yes, sir.
gpt
Did you know where he came from?
human
I supposed he came from the banquet room.
gpt
Did this happen before the lady went out, or after?
human
Before.
gpt
Can you describe this young man, Joseph?
human
I think I should know him, he was slender and clean shaven--yes, I'm sure I should know him.
gpt
Did anyone else pass you, either going out or coming in?
human
No, sir.
gpt
Are you sure?
human
Absolutely sure.
gpt
That will do.
human
A thousand thunders! Wait! That woman--what did she wear?
gpt
Why, a beautiful evening gown, sir, cut low with a lot of lace and----
human
No, no. I mean, what did she wear outside? Her wraps? Weren't they in Number Six?
gpt
No, sir, they were downstairs in the cloakroom.
human
In the cloakroom! He bounded to his feet.
