The Silk Stocking Murders (2010)
“From the other girl, Zelma Deeping, they had been able to learn nothing. So far as she knew Dorothy Fielder had been expecting no visitor, nor could she even suggest who the visitor might have been; so many dozens of men, mostly connected with their profession, dropped in from time to time if they happened to be in the neighbourhood, that it was impossible to say who this one might have been.
Briefly, her information was merely negative. Dorothy had been expecting nobody, Dorothy was not engaged to anybody, Dorothy had no particularly favoured men-friends. Nor (and here Moresby looked significantly at Roger) had Zelma Deeping ever heard the names George Dunning or Gerald Newsome. She had, she thought, heard of Arnold Beverley, but in what connection she could not recall; at any rate, she was sure of never having met him. She had been cautioned to say nothing whatever of the afternoon’s events, and been allowed to go, under police supervision, to the house of a married friend in Hampst...ead, where she would stay till the police had finished with her flat.MoreLess
