"Mr. Steve, why did you come back at this hour? Aren't you busy at the office?"
Steve Burton nodded, changed his shoes, and took a couple of steps inside. Seeing the deserted living room, he asked, "Nobody home?"
"Ms. Wenny took Mr. Snearl shopping, and Madam went to play cards at the Coleman's with Lady Gregory."
Steve Burton just nodded again, said nothing, and went straight upstairs.
