He’d been listening seriously up to then, but his face started to turn red. I hurried up. “Emp had been madder than Karl fig- ured. A mad dog doesn’t recognize its own master, and Emp was definitely mad. When Jeff got there, Emp tried to break his chain’—I was improvising here, but it made sense—“to get Jeff. Jeff got Karl’s shotgun out of the house and shot the dog. “And then he got his idea. Why not change places with Karl, and not have to run out? Karl was dead anyway; if he exchanged appearances with Karl and put Karl in the room with Reeder and messed up everything in the house, it would look as though a madman had killed both Reeder and Jeff Pogue.

And he bought the few things he’d need other- wise—hair dye and bleach and the stuff make-up men use for an artificial mus- tache, which he’d have to wear until his own could grow out. “They were on the same build and looked alike except Karl was a bit older, had graying hair and the mustache. Jeff had to take off Karl’s mustache and blacken his hair and dress him in some of his own clothes and put his glasses on him. As Karl, he would make the for- mal identification and it would never oc- cur to anybody to doubt it.” Ed’s face wasn’t quite so red, and he looked puzzled now. He opened his mouth to interrupt, but I didn’t let him.
