10. “What are you implying?” demanded the butler.


11. “The thief must have large feet. That’s all,” said Ann, looking down at her small shoes.
12. “These are certainly the footprints of the thief,” said the great detective.
13. “However, those were not necessarily the boots of the thief.”
14. “What do you mean?” they both asked.
15. “There is one thing that you are forgetting,” said the great detective. “Small feet can fit into
large boots, too.”

16. “That is silly,” said Ann.


17. “Why would someone who had small feet wear large boots?”
18. “What could be a better way of disguising your footprints than using someone else’s shoes?”
19. “That is right,” said the butler. “A pair of my boots is missing.”
20. “This is the thief!” cried the great detective, pointing at Ann, the small-footed housekeeper.
