"What'd you do with that money!"
roared Quigg, smashing his fist against
the arm of his chair. "How could you
spend over twenty thousand dollars in
two days? You're lying to me!"
Fitzhugh's breath whistled through
his nostrils. He stood up quickly. His
face was very white. For the first
time he seemed in deadly earnest.
Don't talk too much" he advised
quietly. "There are some things

"Neither" exploded Quigg. 81
