ABSTRACT
Picture the scene of the crime from the previous chapters. The house has been put back in order after the break-in. A number of individuals sit uncomfortably on chairs and couches, or lean against walls or other pieces of furniture. Still other individuals pace uncomfortably up and down across the floor, pausing only occasionally to glance at a clock or consult a wristwatch. No one in the room dares to make eye contact with anyone else. Everyone looks uneasy, and it is obvious that everyone is quickly losing patience with the situation. Someone decides he has had enough, and gets up to leave, but is unable to get past the policeman at the door, and so he returns to his spot.
