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: "Who lives next door?" he inquired in a perfunctory tone, after a
pause. I was packing my razor.
"House is empty," I returned absently. "If the landlord would put
it in some sort of shape - "
"Did you put those notes in your pocket?" he broke
"Yes." I was impatient. "Along with my certificates of registration,
baptism and vaccination. Whoever wants them will have to steal my
coat to get them."
"Well, I would move them, if I were you. Somebody in the next house
was confoundedly anxious to see where you put them. Somebody right
at that window opposite."
