Gollowitz glanced over his shoulder to make sure no one was within earshot.
“He could be. We thought it wiser for him to be out of reach — for the time being.”

This was news to Dolores, but she was careful not to let Gollowitz see her startled surprise.
“I know. He’s said something about that to me. Isn’t it unwise, Abe?”
“I think so.”
This time it was her turn to hesitate, but she knew if she didn’t seize every opportunity it might be too late when Maurer returned.
