It's at Mrs.Crosscapel's lodging-house, number 14 Lehigh Street.
A young woman has murdered her husband in the night! With a knife, sir.
She says she thinks she did it in her sleep." I confess I was startled by this; and the third man on duty (a sergeant) seemed to feel it too.

She was a nice-looking young woman, even in her terrified condition, just out of bed, with her clothes huddled on anyhow.

I was partial in those days to a tall figure--and she was, as they say, my style.

I put a chair for her; and the sergeant poked the fire.

As for the Inspector, nothing ever upset _him_.
