There we go.

It's actually incredibly simple. You want to find out if someone has left a room in the middle of the night, yes? What you do is that you take something, like a piece of hair or a needle, something thin and small, and you lodge it into the hinges or the space around a door. If the person leaves the room, the hair or needle, of course, falls down due to the movement, but it's so small that the person, hopefully, won't notice it.

[A simple tactic, but incredibly effective.]


That way, you can check later to see if the thing has been moved, and if it is, it's quite the nice clue to tell you that someone in that room has exited it during the night. We could do something similar to that, if we want to be especially sneaky here.
