Mrs. Horsnall, asked Professor Brierly,
gpt
The maid, Ella.
human
When did she clean these rooms last?
gpt
Yesterday afternoon.
human
Are you sure she cleaned them properly?
gpt
She did that, or she would have heard from me. I looked at the rooms myself after she was through. I always look after the work of the help around here.
human
Have any repairs been done in these rooms recently, Mrs. Horsnall?
gpt
Repairs, how do you mean?
human
Well, such things as locks, hinges, lights, windows, and so forth.
gpt
No. We've got a man of all work who takes care of such things. He hasn't been in these rooms since last spring; he replaced that fan in the hole there.
human
How is it there is no screen on the window? There are mosquitoes around here, are there not?
gpt
Yes, sometimes. But Mr. Miller never opened the window, except at night sometimes, when there wasn't any light in the room and that only for a short time. You see, he was queer that way. He was afraid of being shot at.
human
Did Mr. Morris have any revolvers, Mrs. Horsnall?
gpt
Yes, he had three or four.
human
Is that one of them?
gpt
I don't know. I wouldn't know one from the other. I never touched them; I was afraid of them.
human
And you are quite certain, Mrs. Horsnall, that no repairs were made in the rooms since last spring and that no one except you, the maid, Ella, and Mr. Miller himself were in these rooms since last spring?
gpt
I'm sure of that, sir.
human
Will you send the maid, Ella, up here, Mrs. Horsnall, and, thank you.
