"A man named Knott."
"You're wasting your time. That was a lie you told us Thursday night ... a cruel malicious lie."
"Sure." Aimee laughed and Gabby could picture the hand covering the teeth. "Only now it happens I know what plays. I know who this Knott really is."
"That's another lie."
"Not this time, doll. I seen him write the letter. In front of my eyes. And what's more, I got the letter. So if Mr. Three-names wants to get it squared off, tell him he better come down and see me this morning. And tell him I ain't settlin' for no lousy TV set neither!"
Gabby hung up and looked at Sam. "She's got the letter."
Cooper shook his head. He was dazed.
"We've got to get it from her, Sam."
"Yes, I—" He looked at his watch. "I have to go to the theater."
"Sam!" She took his arm and shook him. "We've got to get that letter."
