The Silent House

CHAPTER XXX
4/16

"You and I and a couple of policemen will go down to that house in Geneva Square--by the front, sir, by the front." "Mrs.Clear, also ?" questioned Lucian, wishing to be enlightened on all points.
"No.

She'll come in by the back, down the cellarway, as Wrent expects her to come.

Then he'll follow in the same path and walk right into the trap." "But won't the two be seen climbing over that fence in the daytime ?" asked the barrister doubtfully.
"Who said anything about the daytime, Mr.Denzil?
I did not, and Wrent knows too much to risk himself at a time that he can be seen from the windows of the adjacent houses.

No! no! The meeting with Mrs.Clear is to take place in the front room at ten o'clock, when it will be quite dark.

You, I, and the policemen will hide in what was the bedroom, and listen to what Wrent has to say to Mrs.Clear.
