The Red House Mystery by A. A. (Alan Alexander) Milne
page 254 of 296 (85%)
"I didn't see very much of him in the morning. I was at work in
my room, and outside, and so on. We lunched together and he
talked of it then a little."

"In what terms?"

"Well--" he hesitated, and then went on. "I can't think of a
better word than 'peevishly.' Occasionally he said, 'What do you
think he wants?' or 'Why couldn't he have stayed where he was?'
or 'I don't like the tone of his letter. Do you think he means
trouble?' He talked rather in that kind of way."

"Did he express his surprise that his brother should be in
England?"

"I think he was always afraid that he would turn up one day."

"Yes .... You didn't hear any conversation between the brothers
when they were in the office together?"

"No. I happened to go into the library just after Mark had gone
in, and I was there all the time."

"Was the library door open?"

"Oh, yes."

"Did you see or hear the last witness at all?"

"No."
