THE PRIME MINISTER
Mrs. Schiller.
Nowhere. He's dead. If you are Inspectors of Police you must know all about that.
Inspector.
[Again looking round at gentleman.] Was he
Doctor Paul Schiller?
Mrs. Schiller.
Indeed he was.
Inspector.
Got into trouble about passports in the first days
of the war, didn't he?
Mrs. Schiller.
Dare say he did.
Inspector.
Was tried for treason, and got three years, I
think?
Mrs. Schiller.
He didn't serve them, though. You know that.
He died in prison, and then his poor children had
to come to live with us.
Inspector.
So this young man Otto is one of them? What's
his profession?
Mrs. Schiller.
He hasn't any. He was studying medicine, but
when the war broke out he had to leave the hospital.
Inspector.
And his sister—what's her name?
