"No color in her face, eyes dilated an' full of terror, hands
tremblin'."

"And Mr. Hull?"

"He was yellow. Color all gone from his face. Looked as though he'd
had a shock."

"What was said, if anything?"

"I asked Mrs. Hull where my uncle's apartment was. That gave her
another fright. At least she almost fainted."

"Did she say anything?"

"She told me where his rooms were. Then she shut the door, right in my
face. I went upstairs to Apartment 12."

"Where your uncle lived?"

"Where my uncle lived. I rang the bell twice an' didn't get an answer.
Then I noticed the door was ajar. I opened it, called, an' walked in,
shuttin' it behind me. I guessed he must be around an' would be back
in a few minutes."

"Just exactly what did you do?"

"I waited by the table in the living-room for a few minutes. There was
a note there signed by S. Horikawa."
