"Then it isn't probable that any one got into the room from either
side."

"Impossible," said the manager.

Here Mr. Thomas Colvin McIntyre arrived with a flushed face.

"You are right, Average," he said. "The same man had reserved rooms
at the Nederstrom for Telfik Bey."

"What's the location?"

"Tenth floor; north side. He had insisted on both details. Nos.
1015, 1017."

"What neighbors?"

"Bond salesman on one side, Reverend and Mrs. Salisbury, of
Wilmington, on the other."

"Um-m-m. What across the street?"

"How should I know? You didn't tell me to ask."

"It's the Glenargan office building, just opened, Mr. Jones,"
volunteered the manager.

Average Jones turned again to the window, closed it and fastened his
handkerchief in the catch. "Leave that there," he directed the
manager. "Don't let any one into this room. I'm off."
