“I... I guess I just never stopped to think of it.”
“Well, that’s what they want,” she said. “Remember it.”
“I will.”
She looked at me somewhat wistfully. “Will you be back?”
“Oh, yes, I’ll have to come back several times. I’ll make an investigation and then I’ll have to come back and ask you some more questions.”
“I wish you would. I’d like to do something about that insurance company.”
I got to my feet. She raised her voice and called, “Susie.”
The maid popped into the room with suspicious alacrity.
“Mr. Lam’s leaving,” she said. “He’ll be back from time to time. I’ll see him any time he comes, Susie, any time.”
The woman merely nodded her head.
