"But the arsenic only showed up in one cup," noted Cyril, nodding at
Fitzroy.  "His.  As to where I was standing, I was at the bar next to
Miss Diamond when she stormed out.  I asked Hodges for a towel to clean
the lift grease off my hands.  Hodges, you remember..." he glanced at
Hodges for confirmation.  "If my wife had not been the considerate
person she is, I would have remained right there, but she told me to go
get the old towels from our flat to clean up.  That's what I did."  He
looked calmly at Warren as he finished, "Granted, my timing was lousy,
but I did not kill Miss Diamond."
