We had now reached the kitchen again. The student had also brought
down to Kennedy a number of sterilised microscope slides and test-

to do was to get on the trail of a person bearing wounds of some
kind. I notice, for one thing, Craig, that Edward shows no such
marks, nor does any one else in the house as far as I can see. If
it were an 'inside job' I fancy Edward at least could clear
himself. The point is to find the person with a bandaged hand or
plastered face.
