+ The drop was at least twenty feet, however, and a bed of crocuses in full

+ Neither the flowers nor the earth showed any sign of having been disturbed,
+ nor were there any marks upon the narrow strip of grass which separated
+ the house from the road.
+ Apparently, therefore, it was the young man himself who had fastened the
+ door.
+ But how did he come by his death? No one could have climbed up to the window
+ without leaving traces.
+ Suppose a man had fired through the window, he would indeed be a remarkable
+ shot who could with a revolver inflict so deadly a wound.
+ Again, Park Lane is a frequented thoroughfare; there is a cab stand within

- available to you since LyX uses it as its backend.
- Happy LyXing!
