Grandmother now becomes a lady to be investigated. I do hope your grandmother
wont holdmy inquisition against me. I wish something would, his grandmother
snapped. I am very happy to see a man from theYard.
Flannery came in, followed by Inspector Duff.
Id rather you didnt repeat thisconversation to Mrs. I believe he hasordered her
to his office at five this afternoon, for what he calls agrilling.
One of the party was a woman named Eve Durand.
The young man repeated his talk with Cuttleand showed Chan the letter.
I have been unaware of that volume, he replied.
She appeared to be in a rather chastened mood. Mainland police have stupid
sinking spells, Chan informed her. I have read the Colonels Life, from cover to
cover.
Tupper-Brock restored the handkerchief to her bag, and also stoodup. Already, I
haveseveral times squirmed about in the position of fifth, unnecessary wheel.
When you said good-by, you told him to lie low over in Hawaii. Id like to
change my testimony on that point. The Colonel directs that Gung lie lowin
Honolulu, and answer no questions.
In a few minutes thesecretary appeared in the room.
The disappearance of a young woman named Eve Durand?
About Li Gungs relatives in Jackson Street?
Suspicion, Chan told him, is a wicked thing.
I refer to faint little figures on newspaper margin. Nothing of note catches
the eye, Chan remarked.
Shell like you better ifyou walk all over her. I shant say a worduntil I know
where all this is leading us.
Shes the most indiscreet woman on the west coast, Kirk warned.
Its about that girl, Grace Lane, sir, Cuttle explained, when theyreached the
inner room. I am in San Francisco fifteen years after the event, and Ican only
guess. Dont fail me, Miss Morrow said, and rang off.
Oh, so that young woman is still asking questions? In her absence, maybe Li
Gung can back up your story? You and the Colonel are quite good friends, I
hear. Andwide awake, if I can believe my failing eyesight. Missing boats is now
a regular habit for me, he replied. At a little before eleven, Charlie went to
the Hall of Justice. No, Iwont be as mean as you are, Charlie. You dont suppose
it could be something Ivehad for breakfast? Heinterrogates him at eleven, and I
am invited.
