text_original: Would you like to have your throat cut in the silence of the night ? " " Pollie ! " " It wouldn't be nice to wake up and find it slit from ear to ear, would it ? So don't be a goose. There's a door locked downstairs and another up. Before I rest Digitized by THE SHUTTING OF A DOOR. 103 I'm going to do my best to find out why those two rooms are not open to me, their rightful owner. If it's because they harbour cut  throats, it's just as well that we should know as soon as we conveniently can. So Fm off on a voyage of discovery. You can go to bed if you like."
