To his surprise his floor was silent, and on entering with a latchkey the rooms were all in darkness. He descended to the hall, where Avice was standing helpless beside the luggage, while the porter was outside with the cabman. 'Do you know what has become of my servants? asked Jocelyn. 'What and ain't they there, saur? Ah, then my belief is that what I suspected is thrue!

He thought he might have left the key with his elder servant, whom he had believed he could trust, especially as the cellar was not well stocked. 'Ah, then it was so!
