wandering about in the front of it
several moments before he became
aware that she was there. Then he
came forward storming and declared
she could not leave the store without
being searched.

little flight of steps leading down into
the shop, the man still clutching at

There was no policeman in sight. So
she settled matters herself. With one
vigorous push she sent the proprietor
of the antique shop sprawling down
the steps, then continued her calm
