I went to explore the unfinished house on behalf of Lord Caranby. I was ghost-hunting. Do you remember how you asked me next day why I wore an overcoat and I explained that I had a cold " "Yes. You said you got it from sitting in a hot room." "I got it from hunting round the unfinished house at Rexton. I did not think it necessary to explain further." Juliet put her hand to her head.
I got out over the wall on the other side and came home. I caught a cold which necessitated my wearing a great-coat the next day. So there you have my ghost-hunting, and a fine fool I was to go." "I wish you had told me this before, Mallow." "If I had, you would have thought I'd killed the old woman. But I tell you now, as I want this matter sifted to the bottom.
