Evelyn Howard was called and, after being examined on other points, was
questioned as to the parcel.
"
Don't remember. Lots of parcels come. Can't remember one special one."
"You do not know if it was sent after Mr. Lawrence Cavendish to Wales, or
whether it was put in his room?"
"
"
Don't think it was sent after him. Should have remembered it if it was."
Supposing a parcel arrived addressed to Mr. Lawrence Cavendish, and
afterwards it disappeared, should you remark its absence?"
"No, don't think so. I should think some one had taken charge of it."
"I believe, Miss Howard, that it was you who found this sheet of brown
paper?" He held up the same dusty piece which Poirot and I had examined
in the morning-room at Styles.
"
"
"
Yes, I did."
How did you come to look for it?"
The Belgian detective who was employed on the case asked me to search for
it."
"
"
"
"
"
"
"
"
Where did you eventually discover it?"
On the top of--of--a wardrobe."
On top of the prisoner's wardrobe?"
I--I believe so."
Did you not find it yourself?"
Yes."
Then you must know where you found it?"
Yes, it was on the prisoner's wardrobe."
