Sophonisba was now indifferent, and threw herself on the sofa, while I walked up and down the room thoughtfully, meditating what words I should say when I took my last farewell of the Greenes. But as I walked I could see what occurred. Mrs.
You went down to Fletcherwood by the back road about a quarter after eleven the night of the robbery in the Greenes' little electric runabout. You entered the library by an unlocked window, you coupled your drill to the electric light connections of the chandelier.
