“When will he be back?”
“He should be back almost any time. I don’t know whether he’ll drive back or take a plane.”
“Listen, Donald. As soon as he comes back, you arrange to get some money so I can leave. Will you do that for me?”
“I’ll take care of you.”
“But what am I going to do in the meantime?”
I said, “Let’s go to a hotel somewhere and register under an assumed name.”
“How about my clothes?”
“Leave them where they are. Just disappear.”
She thought for a while, and said, “I haven’t a cent with me.”
“I have some money. Enough to cover hotel bills, incidental expenses, and getting some new clothes.”
