"Well, I don't reallyknow. I didn't see him come back."
"Oh," said Father,taken aback. "I thought you said you did see him."
"Oh, I did see him later," said Miss Marple, "I meant I didn't see him actually come into the hotel."
"You saw him later? When?"
Miss Marple thought.
"Let me see. It was about 3 a.m. I couldn't sleep very well. Something woke me. Some sound. There are so many queernoises in London. I looked at my little clock, it was ten minutes past three. For somereason – I'm not quite sure what –I felt uneasy. Footsteps, perhaps, outside my door. Living in thecountry, if one hears footsteps in the middle of the night it makes one nervous. So I justopened my door and looked out. There was Canon Pennyfather leaving his room – it's next door to mine – and going off down the stairs wearing his overcoat."
