"I demand only your account of your visit.That you refuse it seems tome-what shall we say-a little odd?" "Who said I refused anything?"Mr Riddell sank back again into hisseat."I don't mind." "It was six o'clock when you entered the shop?" "That's right-a minute or two after，as a matter of fact.Wanted a packetof Gold Flake.I pushed open the door-""It was closed，then?" "That's right.I thought shop was shut，maybe. But it wasn't.I went in，there wasn't anyone about.I hammered on thecounter and waited a bit.Nobody came，so I went out again.That's all，andyou can put it in your pipe and smoke it."
