of the others because tho Hollister's apartment was directly: across the hall from her.
She described Miss Hollister as a woman whose ago must be well over 50, tall, slim, rather forbid- ing-looking. Matthew, she said, was understood to be somewhat younger. They had lived at the Shelby Arms ever since it had been built. It was understood that the Hollisters had n . considerable amount of money, all of which was in Melvina's hands.
