"This, I take it, belongs to the room in which you used to sleep,

the centre one to your sister's, and the one next to the main

"There were none. I believe that it was an excuse to move me from

my room."

"Ah! that is suggestive. Now, on the other side of this narrow

wing runs the corridor from which these three rooms open. There

are windows in it, of course?"

"Yes, but very small ones. Too narrow for anyone to pass

through."

"As you both locked your doors at night, your rooms were

unapproachable from that side. Now, would you have the kindness

to go into your room and bar your shutters?"
