CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Sarah looked up from her soli-
taire. When she saw it was Ag-
gle, she beamed. "This," she said,
"is about my two millionth game.
Not one has come out, yet" She
gathered up the cards, absently
reached for a large candy box on
the table beside her chair, and bit
into a chocolate. Her face immedi-
ately puckered and tears filled her
eyes. She snatched up a glass of
water. Strawberry" she ex-
claimed. tastes like nitric acid!

HE was here" Aggie answered,
sitting on the ottoman at Sarah's
feet, because Jim Calder has been
killed"
He watched his aunt react. She
lost color-not much, but some. She
thought for a long minute. "All
right. Tell me-"
1t took him an hour. She inter-
rupted with short, breathless inter-
rogations and ordinations, but she
checked her own excitement in or
der to let him talk. When he fin
ished, she said fatty, Jim, the
idiot, Just blundered into that trapl
I'll bet on it! Now, tell me more
about Danielle and Bill Calder"
He began to tell her as much
more as he could think Of. But he
realized that either Sarah wishful-
ly thought Jim had died by accident
and wanted to reinforce the wish
or else she had some other reason
for deciding to avoid that phase Of
the discussion. What reason, he
could not guess. After he had ex-
hausted every other detail Of the
evening, she skirted the subject Of
Jim's death once more: $50 Yves

Aggie shook his head. He was

mind. "I'm nobody's stooge, Sarah,

his clothes, and blushed. In q whis-
per, she told him.
Five minutes later, he left the
house. The moon had vanished.
Clouds covered most of the sky. In
the east, a few stars still shone
Through the trees. in the distance,
lights twinkled at the Davis house,
where the servants were queasily
waiting for the police. Aggie cut
up the hill toward the club on q
footpath. The building would be
locked. Jack Browne and the serv-
ants would be asleep on the. upper
floors. He did not wish TO waken
them.
He came 70 the edge Of the trees,
moved from one lilac to another,
and finally onto the side porch.
There was not light in the club
house. He swung out a screen. The
first window was locked; the third
was not. Aggie raised it and went
in. He smelled moth fakes when
he passed the stuffed moose head.

minute silences. Aggie heard moth

dows-opaque squares that let in
little light by day and none at
night. He risked. another flicker Of
light. Anyone who happened to be
outside would have seen it-but he
had to get a bearing through the
place. He moved again in the dark
past the furnace and the bins Of
coal. Ashes gritted under his feet.
A door at the end Of the furnace
room opened into a corridor. He
found its handle. Beyond that door
were no more windows, so Returned
on his light and locked the switch.
There was dust enough and cob
webbing enough to suggest that the
passage had not been used for
years. But the concrete floor was
blurred with the evidences of feet
going to. and coming from, the
wine cellar.
