“And you’d done it?”
“Yes.”
“Then what did you want to see him about?”
That question caught Bertha slightly off guard. She said, “It was another matter.”
“What?”
“I wanted to checkup with him on some of the angles.”
“You’d already done what he hired you to?”
“Yes — in a way.”
“Well, what does that mean? What hadn’t you done?”
“I’d done everything he wanted. There was something on which I wanted his assistance, something on which I wanted him to check up.”
