The Case and The Girl

CHAPTER XII
8/16

Where was it the three of you went on Sunday in the runabout, Captain West ?" "To a house over in the factory district; some charity case that Coolidge was interested in--the widow of one of his employees, I believe." "Did you see the people ?" "No, I didn't go in; waited outside in the car; it was no affair of mine.
Why ?" he asked in surprise.
"Because, sir, Miss Natalie seemed like a different person when she got back.

Not in looks, or nothing like that I don't mean, but in the way she talked and acted.

Nothing suited her all the rest of the day.

You know how she was to you, sir.

Well she was just that snappy with all of us, even after we brought the body back to the house.
