“Right,” said Sylvester. “Broken glass wouldn’t necessarily mean a broken window, so it had to be a different clue. What was it?”

“What do you mean?” Woodrow asked.

“Sylvester said that the fit was perfect. And the glass was brand-new. But the house was old, over sixty years old at that point, and the other panes of glass in the window would not be perfect.”
