Quote context

[...]

- Perhaps he's still in the house.

- That's possible.

- Why should he be?

- Because he's looking for something, and like you, he believes it's here.

- And he's a persistent killer. I would advise you get out of this house as quickly as possible, not withstanding our expert police protection.

- Have you called the morgue?

- They're on their way here.

- Oh, good, I want to examine the body before they get here. May we take it into another room?

- Yes, to the sun room in the back.

- Thank you, give me a hand.

- Oh, Warner, where have you been?

- Well, Madam, it was...

- There's been an accident?

- There's been a murder.

- Mark Fleming, the young man from whom I leased this place, was killed here tonight.

- They know who did it?

- Well, they believe it was the Bat.

- I'm sorry I had to use the front door, Miss Van Gorder, but I forgot my keys, and when I rang the bell at the kitchen door, there was no response.

- Oh, this is Warner, Lieutenant. He's my butler. He was my chauffeur.

- Why'd you promote him?

- Well, it's very difficult to find a butler. They don't like service in the country.

- Have you been a butler before?

- I've served in many capacities, sir, but this was my night off, and I forgot my keys.
