Gustav Klimt The Kiss
"Didn't hear about it at once，"said Ball. "Not till news came along as there'd been another murder done.And thenthe lass she screams out as it might have been blood in the basin，and Iasks her what she means，and she tells me.Well，it doesn't sound right to meand I went upstairs myself. Nobody in the room.I asks a few questions and one of the lads incourtyard says he saw a fellow sneaking out that way and by his descriptionit was the right one.So I says to the missus as Mary here had best go topolice. She doesn't like the idea，Mary doesn't，and I says I'll come along withher." Inspector Crome drew a sheet of paper towards him. "Describe this man，"he said."As quick as you can.There's no time to belost."

"Medium-sized he were，"said Mary. "And stooped and wore glasses." "His clothes?" "A dark suit and a Homburg hat.Rather shabby-looking." She could add little to this description. Inspector Crome did nit insist unduly.The telephone wires were soon busy，but neither the inspector nor the Chief Constable were over-optimistic. Crome elicited the fact that the man，when seen sneaking across the yard，had had no bag or suitcase. "There's a chance there，"he said. Two men were despatched to the Black Swan.
