XI.

IT wasn’t pleasant sitting in the company of a murderer. What made it worse was not knowing who the murderer was.

Such was the situation when Commissioner Weston finished his grilling of the suspects. Alan Fenway had a good enough explanation for the note and thereby tossed the question of a murder right around the circle.

“I didn’t write that note to Vera,” admitted Alan, after a show of reluctance. “It was my daily note to Joy, and I put it on her dressing table.”

“Then why didn’t I find it?” sputtered Joy, angrily, “or did you forget which room was mine?”

Alan shook his head and relaxed in his chair. Like the rest, he was sitting at a table which the commissioner had brought to the center of the stage.

Commissioner Weston turned to a new arrival, his ace inspector, Joe Cardona. When Cardona was on the job, Weston forgot all about asking opinions from Cranston, except when Joe was stumped. So far, the inspector wasn’t.

Pokerfaced, Cardona turned to Joy and asked bluntly:

“Didn’t you find that note, Miss Trevose?”
