It was annoying to have her tnunoer
stolen like that.

I'm trying to find out. There was 2 Jet,

herself Claire Cleveland, and ! Thought
she might be the person you told me
about"
If she hadn't still been cross with MIN,
she'd have liked the swiftness with
which his mind worked. He asked three
more questions, now. all in breath.
why did you think she was? what
did she say she wanted? Have you got
her letter here with you?"
She answered them, still trying to be
cool about it, in reverse order.

| about them.
But, when Rhoda turned from smiling
good-by after him to find herself face to
face with Martin, she perceived from MS
frown that he hadn't liked 1t.
I'm glad you happened to be here, !"
Rhoda said to him. IT wanted to ask
you about the woman you heard talking
night before last at the Alhambra. What
she looked like and just what she said
to Mr.. Lewis"
If he'd answered her properly, she'd
have forgiven him for looking annoyed
over the limousine. She would have told
him, when she got around to 1t, how 1t
had happened. But he didn't answer her
at all-fashed back at her, instead, with
two questions of his own.
Whats she been doing since last

Why, she said that q couple Of years

told me about"
We'll. she is, all right. Anybody
could see that"
This, she reflected, was as much as
to say that she was fool not to have
seen 1t for herself at the first glance.
He was staring at her now in blank
abstraction, as if he didn't know she
was there. When he walked up, it was
to ask further questions.
What does she ask you to do? Let
her come and see you and 90 over your

"And all she asked ME to do" Rhoda
told him, resolved to stif1e her wrath

lunch with her at the Tip-Top Inn

that she could tell me all about 1t. And

"Rhoda, you're not going?"
He had had the grace to put an up

it sound like a question, but he'd

'You won't find out thing from
her. That woman's clever, Rhoda, and
she's dangerous. You'd better let her
alone. Why, she's got you half fooled
already"
At that, since It wasn't feasible to
shake him till his teeth ratified, she
turned and left him with a rush.

 There were no ruts or holes, so he turned back, reiflarking to his companion that the car had been broken in at the factory. Still, fl, would be giving it pretty harsh treatment to throw it wide open. he said. But Lefty told him 10 go ahead.
