CRAIG’S WIFE
91

Mrs. Craig

I see.

Catelle

But, of course, as you understand, Mrs. Craig, it’s part of our business to follow up any little outside clue that we happen to get hold of that might throw some additional light on a case.

Mrs. Craig

Yes, of course.

Catelle

And that’s what I wanted to see Mr. Craig about.

Mrs. Craig

You mean you think Mr. Craig might be the man that was seen leaving there last night.

Catelle

No, that circumstance is really not being seriously considered; a house of that description might have had any number of visitors during the evening.

Mrs. Craig

That’s very true.

Catelle

But, we’ve had a report late this afternoon, Mrs. Craig, from the Lynnebrooke Telephone Exchange, where your light comes in, that there was a call made on your telephone here at five-twenty-seven this evening, asking for the address of the telephone number Levering three, one hundred; and that happens to be the number of the telephone at Mr. Passmore’s home.

Mrs. Craig

You mean that somebody called from here?
[She indicates the telephone.
