“Listen, you little fool! Why do you imagine a lawyer should go to the trouble of taking out a writ for you? He’s Maurer’s lawyer! That’s why.”
“How do I know Bunty Lloyd hasn’t sent him?” she demanded. “You want me to stay here, don’t you? I don’t believe anything you’re saying!”
A tap came on the door and Madge looked in.
“Mr. Gollowitz.”
Gollowitz came in, a smooth smile on his dark face.
“Miss Coleman?”
Frances faced him, her eyes searching his face.
“Yes.”
“I’m a lawyer, and I represent the Norgate Union. The secretary of the union called me and told me you were detained here. The District Attorney tells me he has no reason to hold you any longer. Are you willing to come with me?”
Frances hesitated for a moment. There was something about Gollowitz that made her nervous.
