"You see now what I mean about the ladder," went on the detective; "it's the only old piece of furniture here and the first thing that caught that cockney eye of mine. But there is something else. That loft up there is a sort of lumber room without any lumber. So far as I can see, it's as empty as everything else; and, as things are, I don't see the use of the ladder leading to it.

Insects were crawling on the walls. They went into the other rooms on the lower floor - a scullery, a barely furnished dining room, and a storing place for lumber.
