“He hasn’t been here, has he?”
“I haven’t seen him. Lefty’s been in. He looked the girls over and took all their names.”
Grantham’s eyes snapped. “Did he see the Perminger dame?”
Carrie nodded. “Sure. He went all over the house. He came in unexpected. I couldn’t get her out of the way.”
“Did he speak to her?”
“He spoke to them all.”
“Did she behave all right?”
“I was right behind her.” Carrie gave a cruel little smile. “He just thought she was one of the girls.”
“You’re sure? She didn’t do or say anythin’ that’d give a guy like Lefty ideas?”
“It was all right, I tell you,” Carrie said a little shortly.
