The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Case of the Golden Bullet by Grace Isabel Colbron and Augusta Groner: its graceful outlines and well-planned garden, the dwelling had a
most attractive appearance. Opposite it was the broad avenue known
as the Promenade, and beyond this were open fields. To the right
and to the left were similar villas in their gardens.
Dummel opened the door and the three men entered the house. The
commissioner and the valet went in first, Muller following them more
slowly. His sharp eyes glanced quickly over the coloured tiles of
the flooring, over the white steps and the carpeted hallway beyond.
Once he bent quickly and picked up something, then he walked on with
his usual quiet manner, out of which every trace of excitement had
now vanished.
