The Sign of the Twisted Candles
“DREW said he would meet Nancy downstairs —he wanted to speak to Frank Jemitt before leaving. His daughter lingered to ask Asa Sidney a few questions.
“Please tell me which bedroom you and your wife used to occupy.”
“The master bedroom at the east end of the hall overlooking the driveway.”
“Do the Jemitts use it now?” Nancy queried.

Nancy made no comment. Instead she asked, “Would there be any special way to identify the hiding places of the articles?”
“Oh yes. By the design of a twisted candle. It is also on boxes and chests.”
“That will make it easy,” Nancy said.

At the front porch Nancy came upon another dramatic scene and stepped back a couple of feet into the hall so as not to intrude.MoreLess
