The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Man in Lower Ten by Mary Roberts Rinehart: sure. Why would he have crawled like a thief into his own house?
If he had crossed the park, as seemed probable, when we did, he had
not made any attempt to use the knocker. I gave it up finally, and
made an effort to conciliate the young woman in the tower.
We had heard no sound since our spectacular entrance into her room.
I was distinctly uncomfortable as, alone this time, I climbed to
the tower staircase. Reasoning from before, she would probably
throw a chair at me. I stopped at the foot of the staircase and
called.
"Hello up there," I said, in as debonair a manner as I could summon.
"Good morning. Wie geht es bei ihen?"
