Inspector: "I just wanted to ask you a few questions about Colonel Townsend. I suppose you that he died - was killed - last night?"
1st old lady: "We both were here."
2nd old lady: "Yes, we were here most evenings. Last night we played until nearly midnight."
Inspector: "Did you notice what time it was when Colonel Townsend left?"
1st old lady: "It was about half past ten, wasn't it, Miss Graham?"
2nd old lady: "Yes, it was."
Inspector: "Did the Colonel leave the club alone?"
2nd old lady: "Oh, no, he always walks home with Mister Beedie, the vicar, you know. They often play together on Thursday evenings."
1st old lady: "Yes, they were playing together last night."
Inspector:
"Thank you ladies, You
were very helpful."
