Tommy was delegated to conduct the ground floor search, Captain Adams the first floor, Oliver the second, Clara the attic, and Humphry the basement and garden. The only people not involved in the search were Amelia, Miss Sampford and Bridget Harper. Amelia had gone into a fit of hysterics and was now lying prone in the drawing room murmuring that her husband was murdered; Miss Sampford, who was rather shaken, had been commanded by Clara to watch over her; and Bridget Harper, who seemed too dazed out of her mind to be any help to anyone, had been left with them. Everyone else was assigned a floor. Clara had Hilda Sampford, Jane and Annie in her party. It had been unanimously agreed that the servants’ private bedrooms should only be searched by women. Clara hardly imagined William Henry would be up there, but then there was just no telling. She had hardly imagined he would disappear. They scattered and for the fifteen minutes there was the sound of footsteps all over the house and doors swinging open and closed.
