"Oh, she never was in that car when it was taken away from where Purt had it parked before the Grimes' house," Chet hastened to declare with assurance. "I got all the facts from Dan Smith. He'd swear to them." "Let us hear the particulars," begged Laura. "Why, Dan says he was up at his window on the third floor of their house watching the lights in the Grimes' house.

Maybe she left you something in her will."
Anita, it seemed, was plotting a course through less frequented thoroughfares of this strange city. But they came at last to a vast auditorium into which they peered from a half-opened door.
