"I did not leave the house, and Dido was with me all the time. I expect Maurice was waiting for me, and that David saw him. No doubt they quarreled, and then the death took place.","Undoubtedly," asserted Jen, readily. "But he must also have been asleep, else he would have called out as the men burst through the window."，Feather-in-the-Wind had given the signal to his men.
