"I don't think so, for Mr. Mornington seemed to behave with great
caution."

"And there's no question, is there, of any indiscretion committed in
your office?"

"By whom? No one handled the will except myself; and I alone have the
key of the safe in which I put away documents of that importance
every evening."

"The safe has not been broken into? There has been no burglary at
your office?"

"No."

"You saw Cosmo Mornington in the morning?"

"Yes, on a Friday morning."

"What did you do with the will until the evening, until you locked it
away up your safe?"

"I probably put it in the drawer of my desk."

"And the drawer was not forced?"

Maître Lepertuis seemed taken aback and made no reply.

"Well?" asked Perenna.
