The W Woman In the Alcove
In a crowded midnight scene a thief crawls through a locked house on Eighty-sixth Street seeking a hidden jewel. A wall of peril and a loft climb test nerve as the narrator describes escaping a trap with a stolen portrait and the perilous pursuit that follows Sears and Sweetwater become central to the police inquiry. The inspector vows patience while evidence tightens around the central figures and the missing Miss Grey handwriting looms large.

Description of Wellgood and Sears by a waiter’s likeness
The inspector questions a waiter’s identity, comparing Wellgood’s description to Sears. The room’s mood is tense as the description highlights how people missee others, noting conflicting memories of eye color and demeanor, and the waiter’s plain, dark-eyed look contrasts with diverse recollections.
