INSPECTOR. Well, we'll see what we can do with the bookmakers about the
numbers, sir. Before I go, gentlemen--you've had time to think it over--
there's no one you suspect in the house, I suppose?

DE LEVIS's face is alive and uncertain. CANYNGE is staring at him
very fixedly.

WINSOR. [Emphatically] No.

DE LEVIS turns and goes out on to the balcony.
