‘And the model?’
‘Caught the three o’clock bus. I don’t know where she went or what she did. She came back with Malmsley, Ormerin, Hatchett and Phillida Lee by yesterday evening’s bus.’
‘When Friday’s class broke up, did you all leave the studio together and come up to the house?’
‘I—let me think for a moment. No, I can’t remember; but usually we come up in dribbles. Some of them go on working, and they have to clean up their palettes and so on. Wait a second. Katti and I came up together before the others. That’s all I can tell you.’
‘Would the studio be locked before you went to London’
‘No.’ Troy turned her head and looked squarely at him.
‘Why not?’ asked Alleyn.
‘Because of Garcia.’
‘Blackman told me about Garcia. He stayed behind, didn’t he?’
‘Yes.’
‘Alone?’
‘Yes,’ said Troy unhappily. ‘Quite alone.’
There was a tap at the door. It opened and Blackman appeared, silhouetted against the brightly lit hall.
‘The doctor’s here, Mr Alleyn, and I think the car from London is just arriving.’
‘Right,’ said Alleyn. ‘I’ll come.’
Blackman moved away. Alleyn rose and looked down at Troy in her armchair.
‘Perhaps I may see you again before I go?’
‘I’ll be here or with the others in the dining-room. It’s a bit grim sitting round there under the eye of the village constable.’
‘I hope it won’t be for very long,’ said Alleyn.
Troy suddenly held out her hand.
‘I’m glad it’s you,’ she said.
They shook hands.
‘I’ll try to be as inoffensive as possible,’ Alleyn told her.
‘Goodbye for the moment.’
