"He is your clerk and in your employ, is he not?" "Agent, I think, would be a preferable term. He is in my employ, he transacts certain business for me, but he does it in his own way, and comes and goes at his own discretion." "Where is he at present?" "I have no idea, sir." "Did he leave for the city that night, or did he remain with you at the Riverside Hotel?"
